Hi all,

I'm a private pilot who works for a company (as a programmer, not a pilot,
unfortunately) that is starting to think about getting our own light twin
for both transport of people or our product, so I'm starting to look at
different aircraft that might be suitable. (as well as finishing my
instrument, getting my commercial) I was hoping some might have

suggestions
about what aircraft they might recommend. 6 seats, ~1200 lbs useful load,

a
range of around 600nm, and a crusing speed of around 160+??? In paticular

it
needs to be a low maintainence aircraft with good operating costs. Since
obviously I don't have my multi yet, I know very little about twins.

Is there any website out there that compares aircraft on this sort of

basis?
I know that when I was looking at getting a 172, I found a site which
compared all the models since they first came out (in terms of

reliability,
the different engines, slight differnces in the airframe, etc).

Thanks for any help!

-D
