| Main trade-off | Excellent speed, payload and cabin value, but build quality, documentation and resale vary aircraft by aircraft. | Fast, capable and highly marketable, but acquisition cost, CAPS calendar events and insurance are substantial. | Modern avionics, cabin and safety systems are strong, but training utilization and CAPS or engine status still drive price. |
A factual first pass. Mission, condition and configuration can outweigh a brochure advantage.
