Main trade-off	Excellent cabin utility and efficient twin-engine travel, but seven seats are rarely usable together with long-range fuel and baggage.	A proven, capable piston twin, but two large engines create operating costs close to some older turboprops.	Very fast and fuel-efficient for a training twin, but specifications remain preliminary and the aircraft is not yet an established used-market product.
