I flew a 2001 Meridian from 2005 to 2007. It's a fun good flying aircraft. Sporty and responsive with plenty of power for a single engine at a fraction of the price as other single turbins.

Vno 184 true (I think)
TAS 264 at FL 260

As previously mentioned it can be limited in the useful load category, but that was improved on somewhat after I think serial number 160 or so. It was really build as a pilot/owner plane.

400 -500 nm with all 6 seats filled
800-900 nm pilot plus 2

When I was flying it I in the midwest I got $750/mo to manage it plus $350/day to fly.
