soloboss, you always come up with good ideas. You've already contributed a great deal to this forum and now this.

I think if the spreadsheet could be kept fairly simple, it could address most of the main concerns from those of us who are still unworthy to poplulate such a spreadsheet. I'm a little reluctant to endorse a highly detailed one since inquiries about this topic always seem to draw a crowd and stimulates much useful discussion.

Still it would be great to know what one is getting oneself into relative to a particular selection. And a chart with key info certainly would help streamline discussions and cut to the chase.

Guess we also have to realize that the market changes and improvements are made, so the chart would have to be regularly updated and vetted.

I'm just a lowly newbie on a CX2, but I'm constantly studying what's out there and what my next heli will be. I see lots of opinions flying around, but there seems to be some consensus among our peers as to what the next move probably should be based on my needs (wants!).

Interested in seeing what others think.
