Main trade-off	A highly efficient modern IFR trainer, but two seats and modest speed limit its value as a family travel aircraft.	Modern, economical and comfortable for training, but payload and speed remain limited for serious touring.	Modern, efficient and exceptionally short-field capable, but the certified-aircraft price is high for a two-seat platform.
