The twin vs single debate is endless.

But in all honesty, the real divider is (as usual) economics. I can go out tomorrow and get a King Air, Turbo Commander or an MU-2 for about $400.000. They will fly almost as fast as TBM and go further, probably land and takeoff shorter and just burn about 20-gal/hr more. You can buy a lot of fuel for $1 million in price difference...

Peter, I know you have an aversion against twins, but I also know you want to upgrade to a turbine eventually. You could go get a twin rating in a week and be in a turbine in no time for a lot less money than any TBM or Jetprop. There's plenty of choice out there.
