Main trade-off	Exceptional cabin, payload and runway versatility, but acquisition and professional-grade support costs are substantial.	Faster and roomier than the Kodiak 100 while retaining utility, but its higher weight and fuel burn reduce the simplicity advantage.	Exceptional payload and short-field access, but it is slower, noisier and unpressurized compared with executive turboprops.
