When you're talking about more than 50 landings in a day, especially during the summer, fatigue induced pilot error is much more likely to be the cause of an incident than loss of an engine. The 212 is pretty simple, but going through even that simple checklist 50 or more times a day takes its toll. I don't believe there's a turbine helicopter that can do the field job with less stress on the pilot than a 206.
My currrent job involves crew changes over fairly long distances (80 miles or more) so I wouldn't be happy with anything less than my trusty S-76, but for field work the 206 certainly has its advantages, and not merely cost of operation.
