B model didn't like 280 much, 260 & 270 I think was about it. No RVSM for the A & B? Don't think there's much point to it.
Again, bet you'll love it. Slow down to go farther if 4 plus hour legs aren't a concern for you. Mooney owners love efficiency right?
Even with a fuel stop(s) you'll never fly airlines again once you own a TBM. Buddy with a B traded to an 850 after 3 years he loved those planes, bet your spouse will too.
280 is great in the A/B/C2. They all perform the same except for higher GW in the C2
I did RVSM on my C2. 310 makes a lot of sense, 8 kts slower than 280 but 10% less fuel burn. Really good when you have a better tailwind up higher, you can get really good range.
A models can get RVSM if you switch to gaseous oxygen from the chemical. A few have done it.
