I know exactly what you're talking about. I work for a TBM/Piper distributor, and we get all kinds of good/bad that want to fly and think they can handle the step up to the Turbo-Props, even the Malibu(Matrix/Mirage) can be a handful for the folks moving into those from fixed gear(usually Cirrus) planes.

At least you are with just one person, although I do get a variety, you sometimes have no idea what they are going to throw at you. Good luck, it doesn't sound terribly bad, but not suprising neither given what's out there. Can anyone imagine how bad it's going to be when the G3000 gets released!
