I have to call BS on the penultimate post
The 130 is vastly more comfortable than the 407, the fenestron works fine and I dare say probably has at least as much if not more T.R. auth. as the bell. Dual FADEC with hydromechanical backup compared to bell's dodgy setup. If you like, you can switch over to the new LTS-101 and save a bundle on your next engine overhaul. Plus it looks like it was designed in the last few decades instead of the 60's.
About the only good thing I can say for the bell is that the support might be better, and it's certainly a little bit faster.
If it was my money, I'd buy the EC-130.
