Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 2000s vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Legacy 450 vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Embraer Praetor 500 vs Embraer Praetor 600
Dassault Falcon 2000S and 2000LXS are super‑midsize jets; the 2000LXS is the more capable variant with slightly better runway performance and typically a longer published range. Both generally seat about 8–10 passengers for typical executive layouts. Embraer Legacy 450 and Praetor 500 are also super‑midsize; the Praetor 500 is the longer‑range evolution, with typical seating around 8–9. The Embraer Praetor 600 sits at the top of the super‑midsize class, stretching toward large‑cabin range while usually carrying about 8–10. Dassault Falcon 6X is a large‑cabin, long‑range jet with a wide cabin and typical seating around 10–14, offering intercontinental capability. Falcon 7X and 8X are large‑cabin, ultra‑long‑range tri‑jets; the 8X is the longest‑range of the two, with typical seating about 12–16 depending on configuration. Falcon 900LX is a large‑cabin long‑range tri‑jet, generally seating around 10–14, with transoceanic capability. Embraer Phenom 100EV is a very light jet, typically 4–6 passengers, suited to shorter regional trips. Phenom 300E is a light jet, commonly 6–9 passengers, with substantially more range than the 100EV.
