Maxrpm,
Have to say, I totally agree with you on the good and bad points of the Q400 - probably one of the best put together summaries of the a/c qualities I've read.
BF,
Read the post again - the point about pax preferring jets is there. As for the Barbie jet cruising past at 100kts+ - cobblers! Cruise TAS for the Q400 is 360kts (or M 0.6). Your tiddly little Barbie Jet isn't anything like 100kts faster my friend. Don't overcompensate for your relative lack of size.
