Transiting from PC12 to a faster plane

Hi

I am flying PC12 for more than one year, and now I am thinking of upgrading to some faster plane. I pilot PC12 myself nd since I love PC12 ability to land on 800m long grass airport, I have discovered, that I fly from ILS to ILS. I also fly on longer legs, and being inside cocpit for 3 hrs alone, motivates me to find faster alternative.

And since, there were several engine outs in PC12, Meridians and Caravans, I do not belive, that "turbines never fail." Yeas they fail, and if I fly with PC12 over big areas of sea, or sometimes in night, or in heavy IMC conditions, I am really scared.

As my favorite plane I would opt fo CJ3.

Are there any suggestions, which plane should replace my PC12?
