The Bell doesn't need rebuilding every 12 years. The Robinson is cheaper to buy.

The Bell doesn't really depreciate, but costs more to maintain annually. The Robinson seems to depreciate with age following each 12 year rebuild.

When you start the Bell, you feel like a Skygod. When you start the Robinson, you feel like a tractor driver!
