Pilatus PC12 MT 5 blade prop

I am curious if any of you PC12 pilots have flown the Pilatus with the 5 bladed composite MT prop. How does it compare to the factory 4 blade? Performance, noise, vibration...?

Those MT 5 bladers must really be flying off the shelves.

Put one on our '14 NG..a few knots faster at cruise, a little more acceleration on takeoff, can't tell a difference with noise.
