Sikorsky in my experience has a lot of the "You only buy helos from us, so therefore you will take what we give you and LIKE IT" attitude in my experience. Telling us things were impossible to get in the 60B that were working (from the factory) in the spanish S70, which is essentially the same airframe.
Then again, we (the Navy) have done some really dumb shit, like not paying for a VOR/ILS in a new aircraft that's wired for it. Apparently the $20K (or less) box and antennas that are not weight critical in a Cessna are too much for the mighty 60R
