I have no experience in the 119 but the 130 is a sweet machine. I have flown about 20 different ones and it is amazing how much different they are from each other. Some are SMOOTH and POWERFUL and sometimes you get one thats a bit of a dog and shakes a bit. I like flying it and after coming out of of the B2 I didn't like the stiff feel of the pedals from the non-boosted pedals but that only lasted a week or so. Now I don't feel the difference at all and in the UNLIKELY event of a hydro fail (redundant hydraulics) the T/R is one less thing you'd have to deal with as it is STIFF in the AS350 without hydro.
All in all, for tours, a fantastic machine.
