Hi Alex,
in tourism, it is all about giving the customer the best experience for their dollar. And in a helicopter, that is all about visibility and comfort. If you are able to put the pilot ego aside and concentrate on what is best for your paying guest rather than what the pilot would like to play with, the 130 wins every time. Remember, these machines were virtually built from spec by the end-user, the Blue-Hawaii, Maverick helicopters etc who knew what the customer needed - great visibility of the wondrous sights they paid to fly over, around or to. That's why there are massive fleets of the 130's in all the really cool places worth flying around.
Good luck with your shopping.
