For what it's worth, I spend my days about 1000' away from the Downtown Manhattan heliport, probably one of the busiest tourist heliports in the world (14 pads, all in fairly constant use).

The 407 is the clear winner in that market - probably 8-10 B407s active across multiple operators. AS350s are in second place, just behind the 407s (don't know my B2s from B3s, if it makes a difference, though I could look it up). I can only think of 1 or 2 EC/H130s running tours, and no 119s.
