Default heli flying - which would be more fun/useful Schweizer 300C or a Bell 47G

You are comparing apples and oranges. A Schweizer is still in production
and parts/support available; a G is long out of production and parts are
harder and harder to find.
If you want to fly lots rather than drive an antique a Schweizer is for you.
In my humble opinion.

1,500 hours on 47G and Zero on the Schweizer.

The 47 is what you might call 'sedate' tail rotor underpowered and generally
lacking power.

Worth it for the view though.
