The 190 is a very capable aircraft although I didn't like flying it. Quirky(things like the APU cannot be left unattended, seats like concrete park benches, many computer resets and that goofy yoke) and uncomfortable in the cockpit. A much more capable aircraft than the F100. 4 hr legs and can pretty much carry whatever you put in the door. Passengers like it and probably the best air conditioning of any plane I've flown.
Heaven save you if power is disconnected with the APU off.
