I operate both EC130 and B407 .From a pilots point of view the Bell wins every time ,its smoother ,faster and handles with ease.The 130 is sloppy and bumpy at high speed and the fenestron is very poor in x-wind conditions.ECs have many problems getting parts and have many ADs and sevice bulletins now.Doors are also a major problem with 130 .
Dont even think of an EC130 ,go for Bell 407 !
