If there is anybody out there who has first hand experience of both or either aircraft, I would highly appreciate it, if they could share their opinion.

I'm interrested in servicebility, customer support by Dassault and Bombardier
and all the other important things you should know before you operate either.
Obviously the Global is bigger, but I'm interrested in the operation of the aircraft, the potential owner is happy with either cabin.

Do they do what it says on the tin and is the 900EX really that much cheaper to operate as they say?

Hard to believe either cabin is acceptable--quite a wide difference. The G5000 does burn more gas, it cannot be any other way with 50% greater TOGW. The G5000 is built like a tank, cruises at M.85, goes another 40 minutes at a speed the F900 cannot cruise at all. Falcon probably has better OEM support, or at least the reputation is that way. Waiting time for delivery might be a decider, too.
