Just be very careful using DOC data.

Everyone calculates it very differently. C&D maybe a guide but some aircraft type information is based on a small sample with diverse operators conducting varying tasks.

The best way to find out what it will really cost you is to get a manufacturer's quote for PBH (preferably nose to tail). Since they are underwriting it, the rate will be a fair indication of what it will cost you to run an aircraft per hour (excluding personnel costs obviously) Don't forget to add a few $ for consumables since most manufacturers exclude them in their PBH rates.
