Carenado Navajo?

This is all kinda after the fact since I've already purchased the airplane, but those of you who did buy the airplane. . . .did you find it to be a framerate hog or is it just me? Normally, in both FSX and P3DV2+ I can maintain 20-40 fps easily but this airplane has me in single digits much of the time. Takes the enjoyment out of a hefty purchase.
 
I don't have the Navajo Ed but I've come to expect heavy FR's on their later models. The C90 in particular and even with the 'lite' panel is a cow. The B200 is less so which is surprising. I made sure I read as many write-ups as possible on it before adding to basket. It's still a pig though and the HD textures don't help, Can't imagine anything vaguely new from Carenado being any different.

Does it use a G1000? I stioped buying their priducts after the Phenom 100 gave me max 18 FPS in perfect conditions...not becauee i dontnlike them but because i simply couldnt spend the money to get such poor performance. I think its related to their g1000 gauge.
 
Its all steam gauges, The issue I suspect, is in the coding for their GPS/NAV instruments they throw into every plane... It rips my 50 fps p3d down to 10 in any of the recent ones too.
 
In P3D 2.5 with ORBX FTX England at EGHR, I get an average fps of 38 with the Navajo with its GNS530 on, as against 25 with their Cirrus (twin G1000) and 50 with the stock A36 (GNS430). Haven't tried it in FSX but the very low frame rates with Alabeo aircraft in FSX was the main reason I switched to P3D, which I have had no problems with.
 
I just want them to make it so I can install several of the recent planes I've bought in to FSX SE. I have at least one installer that one even start.
I heard the customer service left some to be desired, but, I am kind of disappointed to see it in action. I sent screenshots of my errors and was told they don't know when they will support SE.
 
Low FPS comments are interesting. I'm running this with the RXP530 at FTX KEGE (with global/vector) and ASN and getting 30FPS with no trouble. AI at 30%. Rig is i5 760 @4GHz with a 1.5Gb GTX580 so its not exactly cutting edge. I have removed the Cmeteo.xml tho - seems to be a bit of a hog for me.
 
I have the Carenado Navajo, frame rates seem to be fine on my old computer, but scenery textures load slower (and blurrier) than with non-HD aircraft.
