Main trade-off	A modern, flexible and relatively accessible turbine helicopter, but useful payload and turbine reserves remain costly.	Useful turbine performance and five seats, but Rolls-Royce engine reserves and insurance make low-utilization ownership expensive.	Accessible four-seat helicopter capability, but the 12-year or 2,200-hour overhaul status can dominate value and ownership cost.
