what is the best helicopter in autorotation

Nick Lappos says that pilots hate high inertia rotor systems because of the slow reaction times. Whilst I am sure he is correct. I am still convinced that for the new generation of vlh machines, (especially when considering what level of experience the novice would be pilots may have), the necessity for excellent autorotational performance outweighs the downside of slow responce time. Observe Slowrotors comments. He wants low and slow. Zeoo I think seeks something similar. These single place machines are in my view what todays quad bikes are. A nice toy for not going very far in on a sunday afternoon.
