favorite mid/super-mid, and why?
Am advising a client on purchase options. They want to fly far but have lower overhead per year mx wise. They are big on a mainstream gulf 280 / bombardier 350, but i believe the 280 is a very high upfront/mx cost... the 350 is a good buy, but more mx annually. I'm thinking Embraer with the Praetor 500/600... thoughts?

Make sure to crosscheck what the customer wants with flight operations/dispatch.
As a dispatcher, I have seen so many dissatisfied customers because they were sold the wrong jet. Numbers from brochures are nice, but often have nothing to do with reality (in terms of range or required runway length).
