Which Should You Buy: Socata TBM 850 or Embraer Phenom 100?
Bottom line: Choose the TBM for the most efficient owner-flown high-performance machine — single PT6 reliability, lower operating cost than any jet, single-pilot ease and Garmin G1000 NXi. Step up to the Phenom 100 when you need twin-engine redundancy and jet cruise speeds — at much higher operating cost.
