Main trade-off	A large, fast cabin with strong single-engine economics, but acquisition and component-life costs remain professional-grade.	Fast, elegant and capable with skid utility, but twin-engine complexity and a premium acquisition price limit private ownership.	Excellent visibility, cabin width and low external noise, but it gives up some utility performance to passenger comfort.
