It is my understanding that FSI has recently begun sim (FTD) based B407 training at their LA location. Wonder if any here have experience with this and, if so, opinions on effectiveness, value, etc? In particular, I am wondering how useful the sim is for EOL's, tail rotor emergencies, etc?

Flight Safety doesn't have a 407 sim. They have a flight training device. I understand the graphics are quite good. One nice thing about a FTD or a sim is that the instructor can allow you to take the error to a complete crash. That tends to get the point across. From what I am hearing the insurance companies are accepting Flight Safety training even though it is not in a full sim.
