Sadly, because they are a really good helicopter, If it could be afforded I'd still look elsewhere.
A new Brantly would still be a 50+ year old design, with essentially no serious innovations in that time.
While not entirely Brantlys fault, FAA, Econemy etc has made any significant improvements almost impossible.
If I had the money and they were available in the US the AK1-3 would be my choice.

Slightly bigger engine would be nice.
I would buy new.
