Main trade-off	Pressurization and excellent speed make it uniquely capable, but turbocharged piston complexity and modest cabin payload raise ownership risk.	Excellent cabin access and useful load, but turbocharged fuel burn and maintenance make it expensive for light private use.	Spacious, efficient and modern, but expensive for a non-pressurized single and not especially fast for its acquisition cost.
