N12U was indeed a G-IV. The 7X has a lot more range, M85 cruise, more neat features for pax as far as connect ability goes. Big window for pax. Excellent visibility for the pilots up front. Far better than the G-IV. The 7X is very quiet in the cabin. The 7X is extremely quiet in the cockpit compared to the G-IV. Pilots can talk at regular levels- no windshield wipers making noise either.
The best part of the plane is the 3 Pratt and Whitney's back there. Sorry- shameless plug for UTC.

Well isn't that the bad part, now you have 3 engines to upkeep instead of two???
I do love the bird, check out the cockpit, that is a high-tech as it gets

It also shows PW ESP for the 7X's 3 PW307s costs about $150/hr less than RR Corporate Care for the G550s 2 BR710s.

He usually has pretty good info/data.
isn't that amazing, the 3 engine 7X costs less to maintain than the almighty Gulfstream? interesting... especially if we take the airline trend into consideration, they replaced MD11s and 747s with 767s & 777s, the A330 sold much better than the A340..

Then again, I've never heard a 3-hole Falcon (at least the 731-powered 50/900) be accused of having too much power

There are various sources to get CDD data, if not their products.
CTI - Global Jet Sales is probably the best and most user-friendly
