the best "vlj" so far (Embraer calls it "entry level jet" not vlj) is the Embraer Phenom 100, pretty much the same range,same ceiling but a max cruise speed of 390 kt tas,better avionics(prodigy flight deck), better looking, bigger cabin,better interiors, a stair, which gives the plane ramp presence, huge baggage compartment, even a toilet, 600 cycles before maintanance.
The Phenom100 is another category.
