Neither, in my opinion. Since a new 530F comes in at 3 mil or more, I would cross it off the list. It's a very expensive flying work truck and I never developed a liking for it in the 400 hours I flew it. If I had 3 mil to spend on a helicopter, it would be hard to beat a 407. The 500 makes for a lousy personal helicopter, IMO. No baggage, super cramped back seat and it's not very comfortable. They get top dollar because they are in high demand for electrical and other utility operators. Spend the 3 mil on the best 407 you can find.
