Think you are missing the point. If it is aimed at the brigade that would buy a Ferrari and fly it as often as a Ferrari goes out. Look at the number of A109's that are owned by wealthy people that are 20 years plus and have less than 2000 hours on them ! If these helicopters are so bad why are there more R44's and R66's than almost any other type, none of which are VFR machines !
A helicopter in lieu of / plus a supercar doesn't get flown every day and doesn't need to be it is there because someone wants it on the odd occasion
