the performance of the 407 in Nepal was informed to me by the test Pilot & Cpt YM.....I have not flown the 407 above 10,000', however certainly have pumped out a few hrs in them over 3 countries limited to ~ 9,000' landings
The GXP works really well at high altitude, I wouldn't trade a 125 for a GXP purely for cabin configuration (and price), 407 is horrible, not versatile no flat floor, if bell would spend some time redesigning it like the 429 it would be much better, maybe they eventually will with the 505 just like they did with the 206..
