John,
‘Not much cop for long line work’ describes the AS 350 for me whether or not you use the floor window, the LHS installation or the ‘Airwork mod’ which moves the RHS rails closer to the door, extends the collective lever to the right but doesn’t stop your right foot dropping into the chin window well. With the AS350B3 model you cannot see the screen displaying the power indication with your head out the door and moving in and out of the door is in itself a nightmare. Give me the Lama any day (and all day)!!
