What Ship

Hello everyone. I'm looking for opinions on what ship to get and why. I'm starting a new business venture an already have a few ships in mind but looking for more input. Mission details, ship will primarily be used for Ag/light utility work, spraying/wildlife survey/predator control, spraying being main mission. Kicker will be that majority of work will be from 5000ft-8000ft most of that between 5000-6000. For comparison two competitors in the area, one is running a 206b3 and the other an R66. I don't have unlimited funding, the R66 would be pushing the envelope on the initial investment but could be done if it would pay off in the long run via operating costs. Would be running between 150-300 hours a year. Just looking for input from people who have actually owned and operated these ships or similar and know their operating costs, including Insurance etc. thanks in advance!
