Unfortunately a (used) TBM is a little too pricey for me, especially in terms of ongoing costs (everything rockets; hangarage goes from £6k to £20k and that is just the start) but also it would serve about 1/3 of my mission profile (extremely well, admittedly) so like other owners I would have to keep the TB20.
The Eclipse looks very nice; I agree.
But really I am staying put. So easy to get into a "bridge too far" position in this game.
We've just had a super 2 weeks in Croatia and Greece with the TB20. Shoreham to Brac nonstop, landing with 22 USG. Brac to Samos and burning just half the tanks. Samos to Zagreb, with a landing at Alexandropolis (ferry to Samothraki) and landing with 20 USG. Zagreb to Shoreham against 30-40kt headwinds, FL160 across the Alps, landing with 19.1 USG. It's pretty good really!
