Main trade-off	A flexible modern regional workhorse, but two large piston engines, an unpressurized cabin and commercial maintenance make private ownership impractical.	Excellent cabin utility and efficient twin-engine travel, but seven seats are rarely usable together with long-range fuel and baggage.	A proven, capable piston twin, but two large engines create operating costs close to some older turboprops.
