The other thing to consider with the big blocks is...you will spend most of your flights in the lower end of the throttle curve - right where most turbines have crappy throttle response.

Excellent point!!
This is exactly my concern over putting a pre-SE/SX P-120 in an Elan I'm getting. Sure, I'll have a great punch into the vertical, but the rest of the time I'd in this rpm range. And then on landing, with this older -120 with the slow spool-up time (but fast compared to my P-70
) , I'll for sure be back in this rpm range.
