| Main trade-off | Pressurization and excellent speed are compelling, but engine, turbo and pressure-vessel maintenance are major risks. | Excellent high-altitude speed, but the turbo system adds heat, fuel burn and maintenance while useful payload is lower than the SR22. | Excellent doors, cabin and payload, but fuel burn and high acquisition prices reduce private-use economics. |
A factual first pass. Mission, condition and configuration can outweigh a brochure advantage.
