jtr,

There is no difference b/t the two until you lose one 179 min from the closest ERA. Then assess the pucker factor!

That’s true, but remember that the twin has enhanced fire suppression systems, the quad isn’t required to. The twin also has a declared ERA within that prescribed time where you know the weather is under constant surveillance, does the quad?

Pros and Cons both ways!
