Another alternative not discussed!

Why not look at a LET 410 E ?
These have strong trailing gear,tip-tanks, US Avionics & A/P & use JetA1 in their sturdy Walther turbines. No pressurisation though.

The UVP models are rather older, thus cheaper, but with less range & usually everything written in Russki, Kilometers & metres/minute!

All the previous types discussed, have the same weak link inherent in the gear, particularily turning in soft sand.
A collapsed nose gear is not only expensive, but very inconvenient!
