'..... but i hear its going to get a lot better'
I only hope you are right 600, but how long have you [and everyone else] been told that 'fact.'
'It' .... whatever 'it' is .... needs to be happening yesterday .... but as ever it is 'tomorrow.'
The biggest operator [and one of the most enthusiastic] of the 520N is Phoenix PD in Arizona and they have finally given up for waiting for this so elusive tomorrow.... they are changing to operate the AS350B3 and the A119.
It is not the airframe that is at fault its the support and the failure to make 'it' happen.
