The only thing a HA-420 has over competition is a slightly higher top speed which is of minor value in short-distance operations. The numbers do not work out very well for air taxi use. You'll be left with curb appeal which is not much to go on. From what I hear, when these airplanes sell, and they are still not certified, it is to deep-pocket types who want something unique and really do not care about much else.
