I've flown Lances for air-to-air photography work, and on long cross countries.
It is a real case of whoever draws the short straw gets to fly it on a photo shoot - lumbering, heavy, awkward, power-less, runway huggers. But, they weren't designed for that job in the first place, they just happen to have a nice big door the photo & video crew love.
On cross country, so long as you have a decent departure runway length, its stable, comfortable and steady. Not going to set a world speed record, but with good instruments and an autopilot, its not bad. I wouldn't get one myself, but did do a trip with a young family on board. Mum & the children had all the back cabin to spread themselves out in and were very comfortable.
