It is absolutely puzzling to me why anybody would prefer this 'jet' to a nice (used maybe) turboprop like a KingAir or an Aerocommander (heck, even an MU2). They are (almost) just as fast (or slow), carry more load and do not require a type rating to fly. Oh, and they cost less and eat about the same amount of fuel too, ... and are less costly to maintain.
