Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400

By category, the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS sits in the super-midsize/large-cabin crossover class with a notably wide cabin, while the Embraer Praetor 600 and Gulfstream G280 are firmly super-midsize jets, and the Gulfstream G400 steps up into the large-cabin, long-range category. On range, the Praetor 600 is typically around 4,000 nautical miles, putting it in similar transcontinental-and-beyond territory as the Falcon 2000LXS at roughly 4,000 nautical miles. The G280 is also in this band at about 3,600 nautical miles. The G400 is in a different league, commonly cited around 4,200+ nautical miles, enabling longer nonstop missions with more margin. For passenger capacity, all can be configured for roughly 8 to 10 travelers in typical executive layouts. The Praetor 600 and G280 usually seat 8 to 10 comfortably. The Falcon 2000LXS often carries 8 to 10 with the advantage of a larger cabin feel. The G400 generally accommodates 10 to 12 in typical layouts, with more space for larger groups and longer-duration comfort.
