Main trade-off	Predictable, comfortable and widely supported, but performance is conservative and four-person trips require loading discipline.	A proven and modern trainer with broad support, but training utilization and modest useful load limit private-value comparisons.	A spacious and capable four-seat tourer, but the larger engine sacrifices some of the P2010 family's fuel-efficiency advantage.
