Is the Pro Line 21 a big improvement in your mind? Anything else different with the Encore+?

Also, how does that work with owners? Are the Encore+ aircraft only flown for owners who bought shares specifically in Encore+ aircraft or is it flown interchangably with the regular Encore? How many Encore+ aircraft are on the way?

The Pro Line is so far superior to the Honeywell setup in the Encore "Classic", it's incredible. Other differences in the EP vs. the "Classic": FADEC, avionics are all DC, 200 lb increase in MTOW, XM Radio, and a few changes to items like the main door cable system and the layout of the forward baggage area.

The owners apparently love the 3 planes out on the road right now. I think they've been trying to get EP owners a chance to see the plane but they are also apparently using it as they would a regular Encore. As for deliveries, we are getting one per month for the rest of this year though I don't recall the exact amount that we have on order. I think it may be 50 planes though that may include options.

heard they are offering three types to choose from in the next class. G200, X, and the XL. Where would you go and why?

Between the three, I'd choose the G200 for comfort, given the choice; it's simply a roomier cockpit. (It's also a bigger cabin to straighten up, though.)

If that wasn't offered, I'd go for the XL, then the X -- the cockpit is roughly the same size (though slightly more cramped in the X), but the X flies longer legs in that same front end.

All three have APUs, so that's not an issue.
