Main trade-off	Fast and attractive with good baggage space, but fuel, gear and two-engine reserves make ownership demanding.	Centerline thrust simplifies engine-out handling, but cooling, rear-engine access and two-engine reserves remain complex.	Excellent load-carrying and rough-field utility, but speed, fuel burn and ageing-system maintenance are demanding.
