I wouldn't go that far, the 1900 is almost a light piston twin very responsive and it does what you want it to do, max weight is only 17k. Try a base visual approach from 10k on a jet that wants to keep going fast. I loved flying the beech but there's a lack of autopilot and gps and a very limited efis wich forces you to stay focused and never lets you relax. Not to mention more chances of being violated because of that. I am not as fatigued now that I am flying the jet. Also I didn't like the fact that the 1900 is single pilot certified, the cockpit is designed for single pilot, the calls/flows are amazingly redundant. Maintenance was always a big issue also though I'm assuming lakes takes better care of their 1900s.
