If you are talking EMS, forget the 212, as it will shake the fillings out of your teeth as you bop along at 105 kt, and the noise will deafen anybody not wearing defenders. Seats are uncomfortable, with vertical backs. A slow, bumpy, noisy ride. And if you are using it for lifting (lots of hovering) you will burn the tailboom rather badly.

Go for the 76. Or look at the AW 139?
