A new R66 runs out at 850,000USD++ so for my money I would prefer a AS350B or BA. For private use both can fit in all the average guy needs to carry, and can be bought for the same money as a new R66. They have more room, fly better, have a solid feel, and I think time will show a better resale value. Parts are more expensive so you need to be carefull when you buy, but there are some great deals out there at the moment. Still remains to be seen what a R66 is going to be worth in a few years time. The 206 is too slow and the LR costs the same as the as350b. The EC120 is nice but not that easy to sell, due most commercial guys shy away from them unless they have a specific (low fuel/wt) use for them.
