Done a lot of low level in all three types - i'd agree with wiisp - plenty maneuverable - can't stand it on its tail as fast as the other two as its got a lot more inertia so it takes longer to slow it down.
Excellent tail rotor - almost too sensitive until you get used to it. It'll sit tail into a 30-40kt wind no problems, excellent power reserve with two on board, and much faster than the others.
Until they make a schweizer with the performance a maintenance schedule of a 44; If you can afford it go for an R44
