You lot ought to be ashamed.

There's some revolutionary technology holding on those blades... called the TT strap...

Quite clearly this is an improvement.

Seating goes from 5 to …5.
Useful load goes from 1487 to 1500 pounds.
Range increases from 374nm to 360-420nm.
Speed increases from 120 knots to 125 knots.
Engine is changing from a derated 450 shp engine to a 450 shp engine.
I suspect the price has higher performance numbers.
