Just like apples and oranges, huh? Cant really say which is better. Depends on where you will use it for, is that right? What about usefulness then? Or purpose of flight? Or mission. Can I say then that if I use R-44 for chartered flights, tours and the likes, it would be better either economically for the charter company or for passenger because it will have cheaper cost with R44?

Well, what about marketability for the pilots? Can R44 rating be more marketable than a turbine rating? No offense to all R44 enthusiasts and operators, I know it is one good heli. A hell of a good heli.

Thanks fellas, really helpful but I need just a little more of it. Helppp!
