Helo training Aus Vs USA

Hi all.
I am hoping you may be able to shed some light.

I am about to commence my commercial helicopter licence & am trying to figure out where is the best place to do it.

My father was a Cheif flying instructor for helicopters and the flying/passion had rubbed off on to me and is something I couldnt shake if I wanted to.
Its something that I have always wanted to do and I know the type of helicopter I want to fly, a 300 type helo as I dont like the R22 ( not starting another thread on that ) and so that limits the schools, and also job prospects to start I bet.
I know I can always get endorsed in a 22 if need be.
I have a school in Oz that I am very interested and there is one in Florida also.

what are the pro's and con's for (learning & career ) flying in Oz vs USA?

Costs seem to be cheaper in the US when you convert the $$$.
BTW I am Australian.
Any and all advise appreciated on this subject.

Thanks
