Guppy, your full of it...yeah you have a thousand hours in one(lol)....only one way you could do that...so please tell us where you live....For those that want to know. It will get up into the 30s and do 380, according to people that ACTUALY fly the plane. Great cabin, turboprop fuel burns. Up front buy in isn't cheap, and it's still not a jet, but some think it's close. I am not sure of the range, so ask someone who actualy knows. Personaly I think it's pretty neat, but I would rather fly a Citation Encore/Ultra and do 440kts at Fl430.
As far as draw backs, besides the capital cost...it's a turboprop...that means props, oil pressure return lines, governors ect...having personaly had a return line leak on me...required a landing...never would have happened in a jet..and in a jet you can fly higher, out climb the ice better, get over the storms, ect.
