cheemsaf: Requirements: 1000nm+ w/ IFR reserve, pressurized, 4+ seats, Certified flight into known icing
Want: 300+ KTAS (zero wind), 6+ seats, initial aircraft cost less than $500K
Operating Cost: Currently my hourly cost on the LNC4 is around $190/hr at 100ish hrs/year. I'm looking at trying not to go over doubling the operating cost.
Engine(s): I don't care, single, twin, piston, turboprop, VLJ (but VLJ probably cost prohibitive)
The airplane that will most closely meet your requirements is an MU-2.
