225 / L2
All speculation. But another unhelpful difference between the "variants".....
Weather near minima. You've reduced to Vy 3 axis on a shallow run in to the Missed Approach Point. MDA plus 50' captures. You notice the airspeed dropping off, select IAS and beep forward to accelerate back to Vy+. Whether 3 or 4 axis and even with increased power/collective applied the L2 will most likely "dive" or "descend rapidly" to recover/increase airspeed. (Even if GA mode is selected.) IMC at 300+ feet. Not much room or time to recognise, react and recover.
The 225 has a lot going for it.
Thoughts to all concerned.

Reason: To include GA set up.
