It costs >$100k (potentially much more) per overhaul of a turbine engine. That's a lot more than it costs to overhaul a reciprocating engine (probably 10x more).
I agree that they are more reliable though (part of why most helicopters use them, since loss of the engine is much more serious problem than in planes)
