Well, I have similar numbers and have Malibu time, but wasn't anywhere
near 200 hours for transitioning into the Malibu, and was quoted just
over 12% of your transition time for getting from there into a
Meridian. Obviously each case is different but 200 hours seems
somewhat high to me. The pricing and recurrant training wasn't what
shocked me, just the transition time.


Malibu turboprop versio? Even then the Mirage is less than half the
price of the TBM-700 (now the 850) which has a cruise over 300 knots.
