Clandestino,
allow me to respectfully disagree with Your opinion on the DH8. Sure, it can be a diva on many occasions, Bombardier took great care to dump as much workload as possible on the crew in any phase of flight, the flight deck is an ergonomic nightmare and one better learn to wind down ones expectations with regards to smooth touchdowns.
But on the other side, it is one of the fastest civil turboprops around, it outclimbs some jets by rate and some more by gradient. And also in case of an engine failure, it still has remarkable performance left: it climbs approximately like a heavy -300 on two engines AND it will even show a noticeable ROC with the failed propeller unfeathered unlike its ancestors. So with all its quirks, it is certainly a challenge to handle and an experience I would not want to have missed.
