Full fuel gets you 1,326 NM.
If you are topping your plane every flight, you are flying a piston single and even then you are sacrificing performance in an emergency.

LOL. Better not look at payload on a new King Air 250, it wont even carry a passenger with full fuel.
They have definitely gained some weight over the years, much like the Bonanza.

For sale over a year, asking price keeps sliding lower. Now under 6 figures. What would such a plane be worth with new engines? It's down below $80 now!

New motors are what, 80k?

Gets you in smooth, cool, uncrowded airspace and with Center rather than constant handoffs from Fort Footrot approach to East Nowhere approach. If you're already going that high, going another 5-10K feet is another 10 minutes climb at most - not a big deal on a 150 minute flight.

Even to MYNN, from KCLW usually 8-10k MSL. To KEkN in the Baron or 340 I'd think more that 12k MSL might be tough to justify unless winds were quite favorable.

I may have missed it, but where is this aircraft advertised. Can someone post a link? I think from a buyers perspective, the thinking quickly jumps to "I might as well get a tip tanked 414", because the systems and engines are so similar, and there's more room. To me getting something cabin class is all about some elbow room and the comfort of a pressurized cabin. You really can't carry any more weight than a lot of 310's/Baron's.
