Main trade-off	A compact and pleasant light twin, but the small surviving fleet makes parts and pricing less transparent.	Good speed and range for a classic twin, but tip tanks, turbo engines, gear and age make maintenance demanding.	Excellent twin-engine efficiency and range, but ageing structure, fuel system and two-engine condition create substantial valuation risk.
