Hugh,
I tend to agree with SkyKing - it sounds like you're rushing it a bit. The NTSB records are full of fatalities of pilots with more airplane than they could handle. At only 30 hours, you're 100 short of Larry's starting time - and he's your biggest supporter.
If you do go straight to the Skymaster, then consider flying everywhere with an instructor for about the first 100 hours or so. There's a lot going on in a complex aircraft - and your eyes will be inside the cockpit way too much. In a twin, there's even more stuff going on. You can get overloaded (task-wise) easily. If you fly with an instructor until the tasks become second nature, then you'll be in a better position to handle the aircraft alone.
If you haven't done so already, have your instructor take you up in a complex high performance aircraft - one that flies the pattern 20 knots faster than you're sued to. You'll see how quickly you can get behind this type of aircraft. It's not hard to overcome this, but it takes time and practice.
Did you figure out how to get insurance?
