@Radwar99 3) The CL-415 can scoop from smaller lakes than the BE-200. The Be-200 can't due to speed and size (safety reasons) which means closer options (again the Be-200 greater speed can be nulled here).
4) Reliability, the CL-415's great reputation has been made for a long time. The BE-200 already has had problems when it comes to mechanical problems.
So in the end, i'd take a CL-415 over a BE-200 anyday.
@3dimon3 1) due to it's slower speed and lower altitude (the prop engines fare better in smoke than jet engine), the CL-415 is a hell of alot more precise then the BE-200 & safer.
2) The turboengine means more fuel burned which means it must refuel more often than the CL-415. During that time, the CL-415 keeps dropping water. Depending of how far the nearest airport is, the more capable water cosumption the Be-200 can hold, can be negated here.
I think you're right. The Be200 is a beautiful machine i've seen it here in Portugal a lot of times, it is fast (very important) and can take a galactic amount of water but... we had to turn down it's service because it was too dangerous, it need a lot of space to scoop and cut a lot of trees brunches with its wings during post scoop recover... pilots don't like it for local lake and dam conditions, but for scoop in the ocean it's ok.
It's weird when you see them at the beach.

@damaged01, except it's a piece of crap compared to the CL-415.

The super scooper is awesome. I recorded it while it flew over a high school in Pomona.
