Main trade-off	A spacious, professional-feeling very light jet, but range is modest and two-engine costs exceed single-engine alternatives.	Simple, proven and owner-operable, but cabin size and payload remain firmly entry-level.	Efficient, fast and distinctive for a very light jet, but runway needs and useful payload constrain full-seat missions.
