| Main trade-off | Spacious, efficient and modern, but expensive for a non-pressurized single and not especially fast for its acquisition cost. | Fast, capable and highly marketable, but acquisition cost, CAPS calendar events and insurance are substantial. | High useful load and advanced systems make it a powerful training platform, but acquisition cost and fleet wear are substantial. |
