I don't know anything about these planes but you need to carefully define your mission profile.

No use flying around in a big thirsty twin unless you need the extras which is gives you

- a 2nd motor (an emotional factor)
- more payload
- anything else?

All the other stuff you can get in a single, potentially.

If you want long distance and a high despatch rate, a PA46 is hard to beat and a Jetprop will beat the opposition into dust.

A big piston twin will just eat your money so you need to be sure. You mention Europe... had a look recently at landing fees and avgas pricing over here? Not to mention Eurocontrol route charges.
