Think about this:
You get a Bung Vertileap 2000 or whatever helicopter. Who's going to maintain it?
Day VFR only? Don't believe it for a moment.
Rupert gets bitten by a viper at 0200 in the morning because he couldn't see the snake in the sandstorm.
Guess what - everyone is going to want you to fire that baby up and fly Rupert to the hospital. NOW - if not sooner.
Night or Weather, how long you worked that day, how current you are will not count. The pressure that will be put upon you will be incredible.

Plus - if you roll it up in a ball - you will probably end up in jail.

That's my thoughts on the matter.
