| Main trade-off | Excellent cabin access and useful load, but turbocharged fuel burn and maintenance make it expensive for light private use. | Spacious, efficient and modern, but expensive for a non-pressurized single and not especially fast for its acquisition cost. | A premium training platform with CAPS and modern avionics, but fleet equipment and utilization make private-model price comparisons imperfect. |
