Not when the Pilatus does most of the work for half the engines.

Bullseye!

Pilatus isn't in the same category as a king air

King Air is the Cadillac of the turbo prop world

Actually, the Piaggio is the Cadillac of turboprops!

you may have a slightly biased opinion.

Gotta agree... King Air's are like C-172's...The Piaggio is more like a Mooney...

I flew the smaller King Air's for around 1000 hrs.. Great utility airplane, a work horse, gets the job done. But not very quick or luxurious..

Cadillac Cimarron, maybe.

For haulin' a load into a short field in crappy weather, I'd take a King Air 200 or 300 series any day. They weren't made to be fast.

300 knots is fast for a turboprop

300 and 350 will do that
