As a rule of thump: Two blades normally mean a 1R bump in the seat of your pants all day and multi blades don't.

However, Long ranger has a the airframe suspended from sprag mount so very very smooth ride. Certainly the smoothest light turbine. (So smooth in fact that newly converted find it easy to pass Vne as no vibration in the airframe, especially if all alone and more than 70%).

All that said, squirrel seats are much more comfortable for the driver.

Take your pick both are great aircraft.
