I'm sure they are as good in charging, no matter if it's their engine in a 120 or 505. Might be even better with 505's as they must've sold their engines cheap to get a contract with Bell. TM must be thinking 505 will sell like cupcakes and then it's just a waiting game to bump up the prices for individual clients once first machines are up to TBO...
At that point there will probably be few hundred machines out there without much other options but to pay whatever TM happens to ask...
505 engine will be the same turbomecca as 120
