Presumably learning on a Jet Ranger will be cost prohibitive?
Only you can answer that question. Consider what your longer term objectives may be. If you intend to fly as a professional pilot, by training in the 206, you will have a head start on building turbine time. If you intend to operate a turbine helicopter for personal use, you will have a head start building trubine time for insurance purposes. No doubt you will pay more, but you will also get more.
