| Main trade-off | Exceptional cabin, payload and runway versatility, but acquisition and professional-grade support costs are substantial. | Large cabin, excellent payload and broad airport access, but fixed costs and two large PT6 reserves are enterprise-level. | Faster and roomier than the Kodiak 100 while retaining utility, but its higher weight and fuel burn reduce the simplicity advantage. |
