Default Avanti= Heavy trim?

Hey folks, 3 year lurker, first time poster.

My company (2 aircraft) has just replaced a old King Air with a 2002 P-180. Nice trade up huh?

Anyway I will be PIC in this aircraft and have done some reading before going to get typed in the next few weeks and I am getting mixed reviews on how tricky this bird is to land. A friend of a friends brother says it lands like a flying brick and requires alot of trim work on the descent. Any truth to this? I have no idea of his experience in this matter so I take it at face value. However i noticed landing speed in this plane is around 125 which is a bit more sporty then Im used to and I wanted to get a better view from someone flying this bird daily. If you could offer any advice, it would be appreciated.
