Morning Mitch......it's not just about the power? The 350 has 3 x LongBox blades where the 407 has 4 x R44 blades (equivalent sizing) in the rarefied atmosphere above 20,000' big corded blades give more bite, much more! Certainly more blades equals more stability with the greater control power, but I'm not sure how that'll help for a straight in approach to a pinnacle landing onto Sagarmatha @ 29,028'
