Smile GA and turbines

Following on from the MoGas thread and the ever present threat of the demise of AvGas, a lot of work is going on with diesel engined aircraft, but not a lot is said about turbines.

Are they so frightenly expensive that they are unlikley to be attractive to GA?

Instalation costs aside, surely they would be less of a maintaince issue than any piston engine. Those that know about these things, can you say how a turbine might, or might not cope with the demand of aerobatics. Could I fit one in a Pitts?
