ballpark 35% less than Globals/G550s
Of course, its a smaller airplane. Also G550 prices have fallen much further, you can get one cheaper than a 7X as of a few months ago.
Really hard to compare the two/three planes. Much depends on the type of flying you do. A 7X would get small if you often did 12-13hr legs with 4-5 pax....much smaller than a GLEX.
Galley space (or lack thereof) is also a 7X issue. Many buyers are taking out the crew rest area to put in an acceptable galley.
anyhow..very nice plane either way.
