I did 22, then 206, then 44. The 206 is fabulous to fly after training in a 22, but as a PPLH has many downsides. Cost, availability and permission. It ended up with the only 206 that was "available" was not for SFH, so always with an instructor. I did however have a great week in LA flying in a traffic 206 from 0600-0830 and 1600-1830 for 5 days. Exhausting, but great fun and good flying experience. All for $100 an hour.
My 206 lapsed, as did my 22, leaving the 44. 3 times as many passengers and not even double the cost (compared to a 22).
If I did it all again, if I wasn't going to LA, I would skip the 206, and get straight into the 44 rating.
