Flew the 208 in the Uk (only 2 at the time)and the good news for low timers is that mini requirment are only insurance driven.
i.e I flew it with 1200 hours but the pilot before me, joined with 450 hours.
BUT !!! It had to be after the completion of a Flight Safety course so once or twice we saw guys turning up with a Caravan rating (Which they had bought
)done in France, only to be told it didn't make the slightest difference.
It had to be at FSI.
Of course with the JAR requirements, if it is operated single pilot, there is a 700 hours TT.
