Main trade-off	Large cabin, excellent payload and broad airport access, but fixed costs and two large PT6 reserves are enterprise-level.	A highly proven business platform with excellent runway performance, but twin-turbine economics require meaningful annual utilization.	Near-jet speed and a large cabin with turboprop efficiency, but specialist support, noise perception and resale liquidity are concerns.
