Main trade-off	Simple, proven and relatively economical for a jet, but cabin, payload and runway margins are limited.	The Phenom 100 combines 6-seat jet capability with about 920 NM reported range and about 371 kt reported cruise, while payload, runway and operating-cost figures remain indicative and should be verified for the specific aircraft before making a decision.	Very efficient and compact, but fleet support, avionics upgrades and manufacturer history create ownership risk.
