The 2000 # useful load of an Aztec looked good as it still had room for passengers with full fuel. i have a C206 that carries everything but would like to go farther.
They are very roomy and solid airplanes, often called the "AzTruck". Nothing else in their class has the roominiess. I don't have my Aztec manuals handy, but IIRC it can do 160Kts at a moderate power setting, and should go 700+ NM. Note: I think at least some of them have AS indicators calibrated in mph?
I don't think it could get to 1500 nm at any kind of speed, if at all.
There are a lot of variants, so you would have to look at the details of the one in question to be sure.
The Turbo Aztec is a screamer
