Insurance more than anything will vary with pilot qualifications.
Assuming similar pilots the insurance tab will be very close if not
more for the Arrow because you have a turbo.

I haven't done an A/B comparison of the insurance costs, but I thought the
insurance premium for a 6-seater was in general much higher than a 4-seater.
I've never heard of extra premium for a turbo.

And sometimes it just won't make any sense. For example about a year
ago, while I had my 182, I called my agent for a quote on a P206,
limited to four seats. No turbo. They wanted $1800 on a $90K hull.
When I bought my Bonanza I had zero retract time in my 1100 hours. The
insurance will be $1500. That's a six seat RG. I completely forgot to
ask them the cost if limited to four seats, I will do that at renewall
to see if it matters for this model. A turbo will always cost more than
a non turbo of the same model for insurance. I suppose some models the
difference is greater. A 210 vs a T210 is a big difference. Maybe the
Arrow has such limited performance that the insurance company doesn't
worry so much that you will be in the flight levels screwing up.
