Hmmh, wonder if I've opened a can of crawling pink bird-food here....
Not really ....

Are you sure you can judge the difference between 400 and 600 feet? FEW at 7,000 feet is irrelevant if the aircraft must remain not above 1,000 feet.

A Sikorsky 76 is a twin-engined medium helicopter and a very different animal to a single engined Cessna or SR22, however well-equipped they may be. The 76 is likely to have two ATPL/IR pilots on board for a start, auto-pilot, emergency systems etc etc.
