Hi Leon
I have built  an es  that at the time I did not have the funds to buy a 550
.
so I went for the 360 mount . it took me a year to find a used eng and it
was a tsio360.
I thought there would be no problem installing the turbo eng in the es. I
now wish I had spent the money for the 550 as all the changes I  had to do
has added 6 to 12 months and countless $$
I have had the plane in the air 3 times and still making changes. the point
is if your only a year a way from flying  go for the 550  it may be some
time before the fuel crunch you may be ready for a new eng by then and as
the  turbine is 100,000.00 right now  the price may go down by the time you
need a new eng .
