It's so sad that the Bravo's real range limit for 1200NM leg is on its performance edge. The 1200NM should be our common trip so we have to consider the performence carefully. It also increases hourly cost with long range speed M0.58.

Encore is pretty nice but more expensive than Bravo. For the same Encore budget we can have higher-performance aircraft with better operational cost per hour I guess. Learjet 40XR has really fantastic performance. It can directly jump to F510 with flat engine power up to ISA+28C with cruise speed 465kntos. It's written in a couple reviews at least. I don't know if I can trust these articles. Bravo has also good reviews and personal experience says something else.
