BO 105 opinions?

Anyone have any expreience with the BO 105 platform? Never flown one, but have extensive time in UH-1's, OH-58's and Bell 206 & 410's.

Around 700 hours in BO-105CBS4

I loved it. Solid aircraft. Nice pilot aircraft. Sucks alittle for the pax. Like most twin engine helicopters it can't get out of its own way if you lose one -unless you fly it simular to a Category A approach and give yourself an out. I enjoyed both the BO-105CBS4 and the BK117 . Both have great German engineering. I'd equate the BO handling like a Porsche and the BK like a Mercedes. I'd stay away from the BO-105L:smash: series they tend to be a maintenance headache.
