I have flown both, the 407 and the B2. However, why does one want to trade away from a 407? The cabin if the 407 is slightly bigger, the aircraft is faster, and quite maneuverable. The Ecureuil is a workhorse, but the crashworthiness is poor. Besides, the customer support with Bell is much better. So, why Eurocopter?
