| Main trade-off | Strong range and Autoland safety in an owner-flown package, but it was quickly superseded by the faster M700. | One of the fastest owner-flown turboprops with simple power management, but it is costly and was superseded quickly by the TBM 980. | Exceptional owner-flown speed and runway performance, but payload with mission fuel and turbine maintenance require a serious operating budget. |
A factual first pass. Mission, condition and configuration can outweigh a brochure advantage.
