Downside?  Pain in the neck?

Egad, Short or unusual N- numbers are a real advantage - less confusion with other  "commercially" produced airplanes and the controller will never forget you if he/she/it cannot pronounce your call sign.

92EX -- give it a try out-loud.  Almost everyone's tongue stumbles on the echo to xray glottal/lingual transition.  This is a test for pilot/controller sobriety!  Usually, there is greater informal intimacy with a professional controller after he/she/it has choked on your id, not to mention the care they take in the next communication.

Just wait till the Legacy flies with 9ZP.  Yes, nein Zooloo Pa-pa!  Em-FAS-sis is not regulated by FARs.
