Family helicopter.

Sounds silly I know, but I'd like to know which one would be best? For instance, there's me, wife and three kids of various ages all growing up fast. So, if I was going to purchase a helicopter for the primary purpose of transporting said crew plus baggage for a weekend away plus fuel for a decent trip, which single could do this?

Would the B206 be ok, would the Ec120 be overkill or not up to it? I also like the look of the Enstrom 480, would that be up to it?

Apols if this is a repost; I have read through the various helicopter type threads, but haven't come across this particular conundrum.

Also; how many hours as PPL(h) do I need to get insurance cover to do this?

Thanks to you knowledgeable types!
