Out of the CE-500 type, which aircraft would you choose?

Ok, so I realize this isn't a bad problem to have...but

I've been fortunate enough to win a scholarship from Simuflite awarding me a CE-500 type rating. Now I realize it may not matter in the long run which aircraft I do my training in, but which one would you guys go for. And I do believe they will give me the choice:

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]I/II, V, Bravo, or Ultra[/SIZE][/FONT]​

I'm leaning towards the Bravo or Ultra because they both have the Primus 1000 for glass exposure.​

A little background...this will be my first jet type. I'm working for a Part 91 department as a co-pilot on a PC-12 and CJ1 with a CJ3 on the way. Simuflite offered to do the CJ type for me but I have a feeling if I stick around with my current company, they will send me to school on that airplane anyway within 6 months to a year. Plus, the CE-500 type covers a lot more aircraft.​

I'm low time, just under 650 TT and just over 100 ME. Most of my twin time comes from flying a C-340 and C-421.​

I think I have until the end of the year to pick a class date so I'm going to try to gather as much turbine experience from this current job as I can before I go to training.​

So back to the original question, which aircraft would you take?​

Thanks!​
 
Are they throwing in differences training? If so, do it in the Ultra with differences in the rest of the series.

Not sure how that works, I know FSI does differences for "free" (it's hard for me to say free when something cost $15k++) but I'm not sure about simuflite.

No, I don't believe there is any differences training. Just the type in the model I choose. Why the Ultra?
