Its essentially a 4 passenger aircraft with 1400 nm range. yep... nearly identical. we have 806lbs available with full fuel, but we never need full fuel. I've done a 1550nm leg going west (although it was slow), and a 1050 going west with 85kts headwind.

I thought it stood for Money?

I have pretty limited experience in bigger planes, and no turbine time, so not much to add to the conversation, other than to add the Chieftain. I enjoyed my time flying it.
That said, I am looking at an M350 for the pressurization, and long fuel range.
