Main trade-off	Cabin-class speed without pressurization maintenance, but the tiny fleet and two turbo engines reduce support depth.	Fast pressurized travel at a relatively low purchase price, but two turbocharged engines and ageing pressurization systems carry major risk.	The Duke B60 combines 6-seat piston-aircraft utility with about 990 NM reported range and about 215 kt reported cruise, while payload, runway and operating-cost figures remain indicative and should be verified for the specific aircraft before making a decision.
