Wil, Aviation Consumer (www.aviationconsumer.com) reviewed both. Not
free but worth it, especially if you are spending $3million :)

Don't have that kind of money, just curious. They seam to be very
close in design, power plant and layout. I appreciate your reply.

The PC12 reminds me of a low-wing Caravan, while the TBM reminds me of
a Malibu with very large balls.

From only the magazine articles, they looked comparable, thanks to
everyonw for setting that straight.
