Falcons used for cargo

Hello everybody

I've noticed that today there are still companies using dassault falcons 20/200 for cargoflights. (find it strange)

So i was wondering why not using falcons 50/900/2000 for these kinds of cargoflights. Too expensive or what?

hahahaha, i know it is something very unconventional.

But i was just thinking, if it works with a falcon 20 why not for a falcon 50??

The only real gain in using a 50 rather than a 20 would be in range and some payload increase but certainly you cannot increase the size of the freight itself(that is important too). On top of that a cargo door conversion for any of those planes rather than a 20 you will need to go through certification process(STC) and that is very costly and not enough investors or interested parties; so why go through the the trouble of all that if there is not even the business need of such fitted airplane?;)
Ultimately would you cut a hole in a fuselage of a beautiful 50 or 900 to load in some dirty freight???:{
