Yes, I agree re you get the suit to fit. That said, it may be that good finance, availability of second hand machines etc could swing it with the 'ideal' choice becoming 'well this is all we can afford'
Ive had a few happy and busy days with London and do like the NOTAR and big cabin for the urban stuff. I personally rate the 902 for that kind of work. I dont know how the spares backup is doing now but if its sorted then its a good machine til the next gen comes up. cheers.
