The J31/32 kicks the crap out of the Metro.

Stand-up cabin, much stronger, much more stable aerodynamically, etc etc etc.

Ever wonder why the scrapyards are full of Metros, whilst the J32 soldiers steadily on?

The Metro (or more accurately, the Merlin from which it was developed) was designed for speed, not strength or longevity. They are fast, but you pay for it eventually.

Personally I would far rather have the stand-up cabin, toilet and galley that the Jetstream comes with.

Ding ding... round two...
