A piston engine can last a generation. You might get a year out of a turbine engine.
Every week I hook up to a military vehicle (HEMTTA4) that was built in 1984, with a CAT diesel engine. Absolutely flawless.
Besides, a turbine engine has two modes: ridiculous and ludicrous. I can idle a diesel engine for days on the fuel it takes to fire up and run a turbine engine for a short period.
