45 years here, and none.

The extra bonus for a Chinook is the bigger spread of cg allowable, by having 2 points of suspension from the rotors instead of one.

The drawback is the complicated mixing lever system using differential cyclic for yaw control, and the resultant drift from having the airflow across the middle always going in one direction.
