Certainly the over the weather thing is an advantage, but the King Air beats it
in fuel consumption and maintenance costs.
But the Mustang beats the LKing Air in the make your d**k bigger contest, not a
small consideration in owner operated AC.

A quick look tells me that the Mustang has a slight edge in speed, but
offers at least a 10K ft altitude advantage to get above weather. This
one filed at 260 MPH and 36,000 FT on a morning that followed major
tornado damage and 22 deaths around Nashville.
