Derek,

How is the ride? EC-135 my favorite, much smoother, feels like a cadillac
compared to the older model Bk's we have as back-up

How is the space? EC cabin not bad for majority of flights but if you do OB,
LVAD, or lower extremity fracture/dislocations at weird angles, you'll want
the BK. If your BK has the center console drawers and bench seat drawers you
will miss the storage space, but if you don't have those you are used to living
out of packs.

Which do you prefer? I believe the majority of our staff prefer the EC over
the older model BK's we have used, not sure if the C model BK would change our
minds, definitely would not be turned away.
