Well the cessna probably was not a turboprop...

So there is a bit of a jump in technology ^

Yes these are noisy a/c but I've been ona ton of flights with QX (Horizon Air) in the pacific northwest...

Oh, and you will have a smaller cabin so hopefully there will be better service then a big airliner...
