Have looked very closely at the cost comparision. The Cabri is much better when you compare apples with apples. For example labour rate Bruno quotes 80 euros an hour Robinson quotes $65well change that to £ 85 an hour the current price quoted by a certain UK service centre then the figure start looking more favourable. Move on to a composite airframe and blades then you can forget about corrosion, very important to an operator in the UK !
Also having no calender life helps alonhg with items like blades going to on condition
