Take into consideration the average student take 55 to 65 hours on a R22 plus the 5 hours type conversion and two flight tests there is probably only about 2K difference in price,, always a better and safer aircraft and always best to learn on the aircraft you will fly afterwards. Think in all the students I have taught the longest took 53 Hours on a R44 and that was because he did it over to long a period,, only had 3 students complete PPL on a 22 in 45 hours, SO GO R44 ,,
but do it at goodwood so i can do it for you
