I know there is an option for a 'cruise prop' which gives much better cruise performance, but from personal experience (a few years ago so they may have updated it etc) the climb performance is nothing short of terrible. The second you level out you can feel the surge of acceleration but jeez it struggles to go up.

For example, on a warmish morning near MTOW, getting out of the even the longer runways at YMMB isn't as comfortable as you'd like in a single.
