Oh, and I just love the sound and smell of turbines. Not sure if that can be done on this budget and on "human" yearly budget.

Before you take a piston powered, booted P210 into moderate icing, do some research on how that combination works. I was not a fan of what I read after my research. Decent airplanes outside of icing, but if FIKI was important, meaning icing performance mattered, I'd strongly prefer TKS or the Silver Eagle conversion (and TKS is better for strictly icing considerations, but the turbine SE brings other benefits, of course...)
If shopping P210s, the Vitatoe engine conversion is a good one.
