Insurance wise in the part 135 world, you are closer to being a piston twin PIC than a turbine twin PIC. Insurance companies like you to have some multi PIC time to cover you as a turbine multi PIC under 135 ops. You will also need 200 more hours to qualify for IFR PIC under FAR 135.

I am all for you going for turbines, I just wanted to point out some things you may not have thought of. Good Luck
They have Twin Otters
