Main trade-off	A highly advanced, quiet and efficient medium twin, but acquisition, support programmes and mission configuration require institutional budgets.	Excellent cabin flexibility, range and safety systems, but mission equipment and twin-engine reserves create professional-grade costs.	A refined and proven corporate or offshore platform, but the small D-model market and end of production reduce price transparency.
