For longer-range attacks, the TB2 is still much more capable with its 150-300km range. Which makes sense given that the price of a TB2 is in the millions whereas a Switchblade is more like $6K for the shorter-range model.

Worth pointing out- we have no idea what the capabilities of the Phoenix Ghost are. The only things that are known about it is that it is a single-use, loitering munition “similar to switchblade, but with different capabilities.” It’s quite possible the ‘different capabilities’ include longer range and/or increased loiter-times.
