Your statement I believe is only partially correct. It's more beneficial to train in the R22 because there are more R22 out there in which to fly/train. Should you wish to transition from flying the S300 to the R22/R44, it's definitely going to be more time/money because of the SFAR.

Comparatively speaking, I much prefer the S300, but then fixed wing speaking. . .it's like comparing high wing/low wing. It's rather subjective.
