Horses for courses here

1. If you want low noise and a safe rear end but with limited tail rotor authority, added expense ( bigger engine and blades) and a complete nightmare to land if the donkey quits ( lack of yaw control ) have a 520

2. If you want fantastic tail rotor authority, faster cruise speed, less fuel burn, more range, less expense but noisy and less safe have a 500D
