The Epic comes in over your 2,000Kg MTOW ... so IFR charges for you, my friend !
I reckon you should try a Silver Eagle (that's the O&N bare-metal-up rebuild of a P210, with the Rolls Royce engine) - it's amazing. Luxurious, fast enough, with incredible STOL performance (you can get them out of less than 300 yards, and stop them in around 500 feet) , great load carrying performance (as with all the 210 range) and, as those guys in Ireland found, they even seem to keep going if you accidentally leave half a wing in a tree as you depart !
One day ...
