There's a local based one where I work at, and when they first got this thing two years ago, it was in Mx after each flight. Now that they've gotten a handle on things this isn't the case. You are still dealing with an aircraft that is considered an odd-duck, and there aren't a lot of shops familiar with this airframe. Originally they were flying it single-pilot, but someone else bought into it and wanted two, so that's what they have now.

The best trade-off is upfront costs, but you're probably going to eat into that quickly with the rest of the operating and Mx costs quickly, unless you get a peach from the start.
