Can this be flown single-crew by an owner? It seemed to suggest that in a promo video I saw. I find the design intriguing, though coming from an airline background I know nothing of its competitors. The brand recognition has to be a big advantage.
As far as x-wind goes, in the type I fly (B744) in EASA-land, it is not a hard limit but a 'guideline'.

Yes.
The design is also intriguing when used to fly the competitors 
About the brand recognition thing I am not so sure. For me, this is a brand name for motorcycles and lawnmowers.
But I am sure your flight operations department has made that a hard limit for you as well by putting a figure in the OM-B.

Hmm, interesting. I haven't seen the above-wing mounted pylons before. Are you saying this has already been done on competitor aircraft?
The x-wind 'guideline' in our FCTM is just that, a 'guideline' and the previous hard limit was removed specifically to give us latitude if required. Granted you'd have to have a good reason to make use of it.
