I would be going a Bell product, good support & flow of parts. Much cheaper & consistent than the French. The L4 is a great machine & if your funds allow then go the 407. You wont be disappointed. Fast, smooth, oodles of power to get you out of any situation & the rear facing pax will get used to it, at least they can look at each other when they chat. I have operated all the machines mentioned & still prefer the 407 to them all. No surprises, heaps of grunt, maintenance - no problems. The L4 is also a great machine that wont let you down. If you are funds limited further then the 206 is a solid investment, an honest machine that has proven itself & is a tireless performer, depends on how many bums, bags & distances you wanna go. Stick with Bell & you wont be let down
