Yeah, Valor will be great at covering distances, but if it can't do helicopter stuff when it's needed, we might as well use the airplanes. After all, they are faster than V-280.
Osprey had the rotor diameter limited by the Navy to fit on a carrier. Valor has no such restriction. Valor has a much nicer rotor diameter to aircraft weight ratio. A true hot rod.
