Default True Cost Of Twin Ownership

A friend and I are considering purchasing an airplane sometime in the
next year or so and we are looking at high performance singles and light
twins. We're pretty much up to speed on the ownership costs of a
Saratoga or similar, but we're not real clear on what a light twin like
a Baron or 310 would cost to operate, specifically maintenance.

I've been told that the maintenance costs on a twin are four times what
they are on a similarly powered single. Is that accurate or an
exaggeration? Are there any really bad maintenance hogs that we should
stay away from? Any other advice?

TIA!
