RE: Considering a jet.
You can do three major things with a jet project. 1) Have a really good looking jet that builds fast, 2) have jet that operates well consistently, or 3) have a "relatively" inexpensive jet as far as jet prices go. You cannot do all three at the same time. Pick your favorite two and have lots, and lots of fun and stay around for a while.
Another axiom. Buy cheap, and you buy twice. Think about it. Can you afford to go cheap? I can't, my time is too valuable to me.
