schweizer 333 v's MD500e

Merry christmas to all.
There is a descision to be made about getting a few 333's or going for the MD500e. Out here in the middle east they are needed for training.
I am looking at maintenance issues with each type and the servicibility from the manufacturer.
Also in the desert we add about 40% onto the maintenance cost due to the harsh enviroment.
I know the saudi's for their cadet program are using 333's, are there any guys in Jeddah flying these aircraft to give us a heads up.

Cost is not a problem for these type of aircraft, and personally I would always go for the MD500e.

Is there anyone from TAMS in the UK who operate 333's can enlighten me about any teething problems.

Also last point does anybody know which of these you can strap an air con onto.

cheers

fluffy
