Piper did their homework. It fits a completely unique category. They added capability of the M600 opens up a new market for Piper. The specs aren't certified yet, so they publish what they know for sure. They are likely to have a few surprises in Q4.

You're absolutely right. Got an extra $1 mil in your pocket? ...And a significant difference in operating cost.

Don't forget about the Eclipse 550 or nascent SF50 for about the same money. Dollars per seat mile are probably close for all three and none of them will hold any luggage!
