Unhappy MTOW OF 4,400 lbs (EUROCONTROL FEES)

Living near Paris I'd like to buy a Skymaster, ideally turbo and pressurized. There is a slight problem : while you fly IFR in Europe you are being looked after by Eurocontrol (i.e. radar control). That is actually a free service as long as your aircraft's official MTOW doesn't exceed 1,999 kilogrammes (approx. 4,400 lbs).

As far as I know this basically limits my purchasing options to the C337 C and D models, the turbo and pressurized versions being too heavy. (I was told that the Eurocontrol fees would add more than 40 $ per hour (!) to the cost of flying...)

So my question is simple : Is it possible to have a turbo / pressurized Skymaster without exceeding 4,400 lbs MTOW?

Thanks a lot in advance to anybody who might be able to help me.
