Would I trust Cirrus to build a decent airplane, and have a realistic business plan when I fork over a deposit? Yes.

Looks like the C-jet will be short on TAS compared to the others, but will carry 6 folks and has the lowest price (Eclipse doesn't count...they failed).

In the jet market it's all about tradeoffs relative to the mission you have in mind. I would need to know the mission and the range too. I suspect low TAS means straight wing and longer range so yeah it looks like a good deal if the price holds. I would not pay an extra million for another 50 KTAS.
