Although the EC145 offers a nice cabin, i would always prefer a Bell over an Airbus-reason is simple:
Bell does not play the game Airbus does, where the manufacturer dictates the type rating training required, even making it more complicated and expensive to do a differences training rather than a new rating...
One example:
Take a look at the EASA type rating list on the EC145, then look at the OEB-report on hoe kany hours an experienced pilot needs to move from one variant to another (not even from one TYPE to another....just DIFFERENCES training!).
