Galaxy,
I agree with everything except for what you said about the size of the cockpit. I am 6'5" and had no problem with room in the cockpit. It was comfortable, even for the 4.5ish hours from SDF to ELP.
To add; If your load is aft heavy enough, you might have a problem with latching the cargo door. Just get a line guy to get his shoulder about where the tail stand is and push up. With coordination, the door will latch every time.
