The C-130 is a lot bigger than the F.27 though. However if the Finns are feeling adventurous they could buy the V-22 which is about the same size but for the budget available they may only get three or four( I'm guessing)compared to 25 or so old Herky's with all the extra capacity they bring with them.

Maybe somthing like the C-23 Sherpa transport or C-27 Spartan type would be a good choice for a tactical transport that might suit the Finnish Air Force.

C-17s, with Boeing's new kit that allows them to land and take off in the same amount of space as a C-130.
C-17 to replace the F-27?. Do you know what an F-27 is? Talk about overkill fella.
