Which should you charter?
Pick the Embraer Praetor 500 if you need the extra 359 km (194 nm) of range, headroom matters (the cabin is 8 cm taller), you travel with a lot of luggage (130 cu ft of baggage space vs 105) and you want the shorter flight time (it cruises 23 km/h faster).
Pick the Falcon 50EX if you want a wider cabin (12 cm more across).
The Falcon 50EX is estimated at $6,500/hr against $7,000/hr for the Embraer Praetor 500, about $500 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Embraer Praetor 500 saves about 2 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 Praetor 500 can fly Dubai (DXB) to Amsterdam (AMS) nonstop, 5,168 km. The Falcon 50EX 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.
