there is a reason that most airmed operators use the KA200, it does everything Okay. It's not the fastest, best Stol, longest range etc... but I digress, the Avanti doesn't have the best payload/range, costs more both in initial and operating costs. Right now a good used 200 is under 1 million add a raisbeck epic package, and new avionics ie: entegra/G600 and a dedicated sled system you should get out around 1.5 or so, buy 2 for the same price as the Avanti.
