Which should you charter?
On paper the Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 does not lead on any of the figures above. Pick it when one is based closer to your departure airport, which cuts positioning cost and often the total price.
Pick the Citation M2 Gen2 if you need the extra 65 km (35 nm) of range, headroom matters (the cabin is 26 cm taller), you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 1.4 m longer) and you want a wider cabin (5 cm more across).
The Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 is estimated at $2,600/hr against $3,400/hr for the Citation M2 Gen2, about $800 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Citation M2 Gen2 saves about 28 minutes per 1,000 km flown. Real quotes depend on the operator, the aircraft's age and how far it has to fly to reach you.
Example trip: the Citation M2 Gen2 can fly Miami (OPF) to Chicago (MDW) nonstop, 1,894 km. The Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 would need a fuel stop on that route.
Nonstop means within 90% of published range, before winds, payload and fuel reserves; the operator confirms each route.
