Post S-61 vs Bell 214B (At Altitude)

Hey Guys

Wanted to get some opinions. I was recently in canada watching the Bell 214B doing some heli logging. First off I was impressed. Great performance for a single engine machine.

The question is I understand that the S-61 can out lift the 214 at Sea level but as it gets higher the 214B comes into its own and at approx 3.5 - 4000 ft actually is a better lifter than the S-61. Could anyone comment on this. Not meaning to have a shot at the S-61 just trying to get some info.

Regards

Pac Rotors.
