Given the HX50 and HC50 are powered by a gas turbine, wouldn't it be more fair to compare them with an R66?
Using the "Build your R66 Turbine" application on Robinson website, the base model is available for US$1,072,000 which equates to about £853,000. But if you select most high-end optional extras for the R66 the price climbs to US$1,416,000 or about £1,126,000. Perhaps someone can refine the comparison further based on what Hill is offering.
One obvious current difference is that you could presumably acquire your R66 fairly soon, but you would have to await your turn in an increasingly long queue for a HX50 / HC50.
