C680 vs C750
 
Has anyone here first hand experience with both the Sovereign and the X?

I'd like to get estimates on direct operating costs (with regards to miles rather than hours) and an opinion on dispatch reliability. The Sovereign is presumably cheaper than the X per Nm but by how much? And is the X really as unreliable as some claim it to be - not unreliable as in unsafe but rather as in prone to have minor glitches and problems that can be at least costly to fix and sometimes causing AOG.

One of the great things about the C680 is the short runway and the single engine performance. Not even with the wet runway factor of 1,92 for landing have I ever had a problem (unless I've had to tanker fuel due to lack of availability). How is the X?

The Sovereign also performs nice in winter operations and doesn't seem to suffer from the cold and snow. How's the X?

I know that these questions can be answered by looking in the Bluebook and flipping through Cessna's pamphlets but I'm looking for REAL and (if possible) unbiased info.

Citation X - apparently the fastest aircraft between two service centres....;)

Thanks for the info - keep it coming please.

And not only comparisons, any info about the X is interesting.

CX
 
CX did have reliability issues when first introduced,but now days its just as reliable as a 680
we support 5 CX and 4 680 and both models are now very reliable
we had 1 CX go 2500hrs with no AOG events over 3 years
