No, he's probably the #1 position holder and is looking for a nice return
Interesting... it looks a smaller plane than the twin. And since about 80% of the fuel flow of a 2nd engine is used to drag the engine along (at least that's true for piston twins), one would expect the range to be a lot better. But then a smaller airframe will have less range... still, 1250nm IFR range is very good for half the flow rate.
