A lot more performance than the Denali. No cargo door but 1400 FPM Single engine rate of climb! Less useful load than Denali? But faster so less fuel needed for the same trip.

I wish Beech had bought this design to make instead of the Starship using. It would have been a C90 replacement instead of a replacement for the 200/300 series. Maybe also a jet version instead of the Premier.

You’re right, but in the same vein that Jesse describes about how something “looks right” to consumers, there’s always somebody who’s convinced that belts are bad because his friend’s timing belt broke 30 years ago. Sometimes stubbornness is well-funded.
