Main trade-off	Excellent speed, payload and cabin value, but build quality, documentation and resale vary aircraft by aircraft.	Modern avionics, cabin and safety systems are strong, but training utilization and CAPS or engine status still drive price.	A focused modern trainer with strong fleet logic, but the third seat is limited and private-travel versatility is modest.
