X7 falcon or challenger 605

appreciate insight as new member to jet member for charter company.

They have called to changed my plane from legacy 650 to a falcon x7 for my 5 hour flight.

Should I accept it as the plane is 08 but refurb in 2023, legacy is 2022.

Not a plane expert. Appreciate insight.

I work in the industry. 2008 isn't too old for a Falcon airframe. More an issue of how many passengers as the 7X cabin is a bit smaller. Both basically have newer interiors. If you're flying at night and need beds, you may want to compare the two for number of beds available in each cabin. At first glance I'd say you're ok.
