As far as I recall, none of the ground instructors or the sim instructors I had during training had any experience flying the 350, but I still found them very knowledgeable for the most part.

I don't know if the 350 is more difficult compared to Textron/Embraer, but out of the 12 people that were in my type rating class I don't believe anyone failed the oral or sim. All I would say is if it's your first jet or you have never used Collins avionics before, I would not recommend the 350.
