Zedoscarro, I have been in a regional airline flying turboprop aircraft for quite a while. It was full of people trying to leave, both captains and first officers, even though it was not the worst company to work for.
It's quite sad, but when it comes to recruitment, turbo prop hours are worth close to nothing - and I am talking about heavy turboprop aircraft.
If you are with a decent company, stay where you are - otherwise your chances of getting stuck on a turboprop are very high.

Cheers and good luck!
