Turbo vs NA

I have seen the threads related to thoughts on turbo vs. NA, however, it seems there are a couple of nice turbo models out there for good prices. I am thinking about getting out of my partnership on a NA model and getting my own. I don't want a pressurized model due to insurance. I'm concerned about a turbo model needing a top by 1000hrs and never making TBO. One turbo is advertised as doing almost 200kts on 20gph...is this true and if so is it at a reasonable altitude, ie not over 18K? If so, that seems much better than my NA model as I normally plan on 140kts at 18gph. My question is if you can get a turbo for a good price, is it worth the shorter TBO? Would you get a turbo with or without de-ice? I'm not planning on much IFR or ice potential but is it better to at least have it in case? I have read the 337 can carry quite a bit of ice, though I don't wish to find out...
Thanks,
Dan
