I know...I'm saying I hope Hawker-Beech stretches the P2 into a legitimate competitor with the CJ4 (lets call it Premier 3 for the sake of argument). Doing so would negate the need for the 450XP, but if they kept the 450XP's price point I could see it being a VERY attractive airframe for operators.
