S76 info

Hi Guys, I am thinking on incorporating an s76b in our fleet. Can anyone help me with some questions, please?
I have checked prices for s76b on the market and they are around 1.6m$ isn't it cheap? Where is the catch? Are the operating cost high? Most of them are on power assurance programs for the transmissions, are they problematic? From your experience would you say is a problematic heli maintenance wise? For a low altitude flying(max 2000' & 25ºC average) what would be the payload with two pilots and 2hours fuel? Would you recommend the s76c+ instead?
I hope I am not abusing here, but I am a little bit lost 'cos I do not know anything about this aircraft. Thanks in advance
