Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 2000s vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Embraer Legacy 450 vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Embraer Praetor 500 vs Embraer Praetor 600
The Falcon 2000LXS and Falcon 2000S are super‑midsize jets, typically configured for about 8–10 passengers, with transcontinental capability; the 2000LXS generally offers a bit more range and runway flexibility than the 2000S. The Falcon 6X moves up into the large‑cabin category, usually seating around 12–16, and delivers true long‑range missions (roughly 5,000+ nm class) with notably more cabin volume. Embraer’s Legacy 450 is a midsize jet, commonly 7–9 passengers, with solid coast‑to‑coast range in the ~2,800–3,000 nm class. The Phenom 100EV is a very light jet, typically 4–6 passengers, optimized for shorter trips (about 1,000+ nm). The Phenom 300E is a light jet with a larger cabin and performance for about 6–9 passengers and ~2,000+ nm range. The Praetor 500 and 600 are super‑midsize jets. Both usually carry about 8–10, but the Praetor 600 offers longer range (around 4,000 nm class) than the Praetor 500 (mid‑3,000 nm class).
