Main trade-off	Spacious, efficient and modern, but expensive for a non-pressurized single and not especially fast for its acquisition cost.	High useful load and advanced systems make it a powerful training platform, but acquisition cost and fleet wear are substantial.	High-altitude airline-style training capability is excellent, but turbo heat, CAPS, FIKI and fleet wear create premium costs.
