If you want to be raped go for the french engine !! After my experience i would not own a french engined heli if you gave it to me . Any major problem will cost you the price of a very nice 500 or 206 ...crazy !!!
I would by an AS 350 LTS101 . All the best of the french helicopter without the french engine .....perfect . ( incl 15% fuel saving , more power and a fraction of the maintenance cost )
