Suitecaseman, I may have different opinions than yours, it doesn't mean you can't address me politely. VLJs have been fueling too many dreams for too long. It's a micro market which will work only with consistent support and planning and certainly not by spending millions in salaries before having an aircraft in the air.

I don't understand why manufacturers had to design expensive jets for so many years if it was so simple...

Phenoms and Mustangs are very good machines as long as they are operated the way they should. Promoting these machines out of their real operational domain will sooner or later have a cost. They anyway lead to different kinds of business models. Bicycle-taxis and limousines can't be ran on similar overheads.

Ask Middle East Citation Jet or Beech 1A operators if they are enjoying the performances they were sold on the paper and you'll have an idea of what will happen to the first fool who will bring a Mustang in Saudi Arabia in July.
