BTW, an Eclipse 500 at SL will TO in 2297 feet, a King Air C90GT in 2392
feet. The E500 has an IFR range with four occupants of 1,300 nm, the
King Air has 931nm range. For landing, 2155' vs. 2355'.

In the six years I've had my B36-TN, I've had five of six seats filled
maybe ten times, and that was the whole family, nine of those times.
Last August, my wife and I became "empty nesters".

That's assuming the Eclipse will ever be built!

Besides not meeting their design goal it is just plane UGLY.

Their design goal was...what?

The initial design was based on an engine that didn't pan out. They now
must use a heavier engine which means nearly all their original design goals
are out the window.
