I really think the 505 looks fine. The only thing I wish it had was longer skids, but only because of the look. Presumably the engineers made them that way because of... maths.

Yep - that post bent the needle of the BS meter.

Why for example would the 505 fly worse than the 206B3? And you can't compare it in any sensible way to a 407 or 480B. 407 has 7 seats and 3 times...
