B4 VS AS350

Sorry don't agree with Longranger over AS350, currently Bell is slowing down on part availability to cut costs, the L4 hasn't got the pax comfort or visability of the BA. Whilst it flys better tham the JR its still not as smooth as the BA either. There will always be good and bad points for each but I would rather fly a BA or B2 any day over the L3/4. Turbomeca is a pain, but the engine is very reliable. Ask anybody who paid big money for a JR a few years ago and see how they feel now, with the way prices have dropped, the opposite can be said for the BA which has held up very well, there is a reason for that.
