Main trade-off	Purpose-built efficiency, FADEC and a rear observer seat are attractive, but final certified range and cruise data remain less public than the established SR fleet.	A proven and modern trainer with broad support, but training utilization and modest useful load limit private-value comparisons.	A polished and efficient certified trainer, but two seats and a premium purchase price limit private touring value.
