C510s currently making $250k over list, if Blink have deposited these aircraft individually then thats 6 million quid (assuming it carrys on that way) to take the commercial pressure away. Mustang doesn't really have a EU rival price wise so despite northern rock + house prices its still the only business jet to buy for the price that does what it says on the side of the tin. Eclipse I believe has made progress towards being able to fly in clouds buts its still not fully certified and a congressman has apparently taken it on himself to pursue Eclipse and the FAA and the test pilots for FAA certifying it in the first place......

The alternative being an out of warranty Bravo or CJ, ultimately more capable and faster but slightly rich people would tend to buy new and put up with its shortcomings and lower running costs.
