Main trade-off	Excellent payload and rough-strip utility, but cabin refinement, fuel burn and resale depth trail mainstream tourers.	Excellent visibility, handling and diesel economy, but wooden-airframe inspection and limited global support need consideration.	A spacious and capable four-seat tourer, but the larger engine sacrifices some of the P2010 family's fuel-efficiency advantage.
