Limited experience in the 500 (maybe 5 hours?) but even the old 407 is way better.  Super light on the controls, good TR authority and very stable RPM even if you fly it like you stole it.  No fatigue like flying the 500 for a couple hours.  

Compared to the 206 it's faster, smoother, better TR, no RPM lag with power changes, more power.  All positive.
