Question 412/212 headsets

Question:

Bell delivers 412s (and previously 212s) from the factory with the aircraft wired for the old, military style headsets (Old ugly grey things with the kidney-shaped, 8-ohm earpiece and 5-ohm dynamic mic.) The intercom system can accommodate modern civil headsets (150 ohm earpiece, high impedance microphone with DC bias) by swapping over some wires.

My question is....For the most part, have people switched their 412s / 212s over, or are they still using the military headsets and ICS as deliverd by Bell?

For those who haven't switched, Do people consider it a pain that you can't use your new-technology headsets (ANR etc.)?

If you fly multiple types, do you have two headsets, or do you keep the 412/212 headsets with the ship and use a personal headset for everything else?
