In Melbourne (Oz) at least one news agency has gone to an AS350 over their old AS355. Greater payload and good dependability.

Mind you, the only real engine 'failure' that I have ever witnessed is on an AS350 when a bolt cut loose in the compressor on start-up. Big bang, lots of smoke, no more noise. Good thing they were on the ground!
