I'm rated on both enstroms (tho not current) and regularly fly EC120 and I'll take the latter anyday of the week. Head turner got it right with his comments about 'old technology'.
The visibily is so much better in 120 and the law enforcement agency wanted right seat PIC capability, the 120 can be flown PIC from either seat.

I beleive the airframe of the 120 is made in the far east as eurocopter want to explore that market.

For a long the American air industries have had a huge share in the market so some healthy competition might make them improve their products.
The EC120 is the next generation of 206's but sadly Bell have sat on 30 year old technology for too long.
