Main trade-offSpacious, efficient and modern, but expensive for a non-pressurized single and not especially fast for its acquisition cost.Excellent high-altitude speed, but the turbo system adds heat, fuel burn and maintenance while useful payload is lower than the SR22.High useful load and advanced systems make it a powerful training platform, but acquisition cost and fleet wear are substantial.
