How about an EM2? More $/hour than the types you mention, but it's faster so less flying time, and FW rates are pretty sharp...

TurboCommander AC690. 
Try CommanderAir in Cairns. +61 7 4035 9808 or GAM head office in Essendon on +61 3 9379 1019.
They have flown out to the Solomons before (although that is further than 950nm? <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> ), and obviously have an international AOC. Limited performance data, can be found on the <a href="http://www.reefwatch.com" target="_blank">Reefwatch website</a>(their sister company). Go to the aircraft page, and scroll down.
Goodluck!

Falcon 900 or G4 would do the job, Beech 200 and Dornier 228, Dash 8 etc, or check around New Zealand as our dollar still buys Ok there.. .Essendon based Falcon Aviation used 2 NZ based DC-3's for a charter around Aussie last year, cheaper than using local machines, even after ferry flights.

The Gimp...I stand corrected. I could not be bothered getting my chart and used the <a href="http://gc.kls2.com/" target="_blank">Great Circle Calculator</a>, BUT I forgot to change the setting to nm and got 1095 statute miles which is.....
