Which should you charter?
On paper the Eclipse 550 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 Embraer Phenom 100EV if you need the extra 367 km (198 nm) of range, you are a group of 6, headroom matters (the cabin is 33 cm taller) and you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 0.2 m longer).
The Eclipse 550 is estimated at $2,800/hr against $3,200/hr for the Embraer Phenom 100EV, about $400 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Embraer Phenom 100EV saves about 7 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 Embraer Phenom 100EV can fly New York (TEB) to Miami (OPF) nonstop, 1,758 km. The Eclipse 550 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.
