As a guy who flew fulltime in the following order: 7 years flying military helicopters, civilian FW 91/135, 6 years flying civilian helicopters (Augusta 109/BH430/BK117/BO-105), military FW, then civilian heavy jet, I feel semi qualified to say the following:
Flying a helicopter IFR is way easier than flying a jet IFR. It is a different animal, not completely different but your 120 hours of FW time in a piston whatever doesnt make you qualified. .
You seem to have an attitude but good luck with whatever you decide but dont be one of these helicopter dudes who claim IFR helicopter time is harder/the same as jet IFR time. There is virtually no need for speed control/descent management in a helicopter in IFR but it is all about descent management/speed control in a jet. You have no experience in that environment. Zero.
Anyways, flame away because I wont be back to see it
