Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Praetor 600

The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS and Embraer Praetor 600 sit in the large-cabin/light–super-midsize overlap, while the Dassault Falcon 900LX and Falcon 6X are true long-range large-cabin jets. For range, the Falcon 2000LXS is typically around 4,000 nautical miles, the Praetor 600 about 4,000–4,100 nm, the Falcon 900LX about 4,750 nm, and the Falcon 6X about 5,500 nm, making the 6X the strongest for nonstop intercontinental missions. In passenger capacity, all are commonly configured for roughly 8–14 passengers, but their practical comfort differs: the Praetor 600 and Falcon 2000LXS are most often arranged for about 8–10 in a refined but slightly smaller cabin; the Falcon 900LX commonly carries about 12–14 with more true large-cabin space; and the Falcon 6X is designed to combine long range with a notably wider, roomier cabin, typically seating about 12–16 depending on layout. Overall, choose Praetor 600 or 2000LXS for efficient transcontinental flying, 900LX for proven long-range versatility, and 6X for maximum range and cabin volume.
