You guys have helped me through 750 hours of absolutely trouble free flying in my B55.
Times have changed and the mission is more business then ever....so we purchased a 2005 Meridian. Since much my business travel is in the west with just one or two passengers this aircraft fits the bill well. I just hope it can be as perfectly reliable as the Baron has been.
Plan to keep flying both for a while. So far really loving flight level flying!!
Family seems to like it too!!

Good looking bird. When are you going to put that Hartzell 5-blade prop on? ;-) Not sure it is worth the AMU's. It is a little quieter and smoother, and seems to give more performance, but probably better ways to spend money. Sure looks good though. Congrats.

My kids loved the back of the PA46. Great plane, you will enjoy the heck out of, especially out west where the air is clear and most routes are direct :-)

Awesome, excellent choice!

Just did 1300 miles Boise to Dallas today in my buddy Greg's 2006 Meridian. He got his from High Performance also.

Have two longer trips in the Meridian, I really like it. Good choice, congrats!

Just for you Pat here is the panel pic. Dual GTN 750's and Flight Stream 210, Ads-b, radar, traffic, twas, Usb outlets everywhere and AC!

Chuck, I read every one of your Meridian posts both here and at MMOPA. It took a few days... :D You should get a commission check. Anyway couldn't be happier.
The 2005 with the GTN's is good value for a baby step into the SETP arena.

Love flying this thing...

That is a nicely done panel. I also like that the non-glass, backup AI us pretty much front and center, which allows you to easily keep it in the scan.

Troy: Tell us something about the performance of the plane. I'm just not familiar. What's the full fuel payload, range and cruise speed?

Looks like you got a great bird.
