I used to do Europe from the NE through Gander and the furthest East I went from Gander was Frankfurt with the weather being good.
I've not been able to make it from the east to west coast in the winter. It won't make Hawaii w/o a wet footprint.
The cabin is great, not a big difference from the 900 in that regard. The most you'll wanna have in the back is 6 folks, otherwise it gets a bit uncomfy for the others and the bathroom wait could be awhile.....
As John Lennon, said once the A/I goes on, it's a piggie.
The CFE engines are great, except the ability to maintain, is/will be getting harder....what else ya need?
Which Falcon 2000 are you flying that won't make Hawaii? local low serial number makes it all the time there.
Maybe you don't fly them or you don't know where all the fuel tanks are?
