Mission: 2-3 425nm trips/week
2-4 passengers excluding pilot
Budget ~ 1 mil.

What is the best aircraft for this mission? We have basically narrowed it down to a King Air 90 or a Cheyenne. Not absolutley so if someone has another suggestion, please mention. BTW as some of you may know, I am very new to the turbine world, and have therefore have little knowledge of pros/cons of aircraft of this profile. What are the things to look for in a King Air 90? I assume it will have to be an E model for the budget. What about Cheyenne I and II's? I have heard they may be a little more difficult to fly and to find parts for than KA's. Any pilots of either plane please give me any information that may be helpful.

I appreciate the help.
