SASless,
Why do Tiltrotor trashers always try and dismiss them by comparing them to conventional helicopters?
Corvettes make terrible trucks. And while a V-280 can match the lift of a 40 year old design Blackhawk, why would you?
Unlike the Defiant, the Valor achieved all its customer requirements in flight test. This included matching Blackhawk performance.
Using a Valor to haul cargo is a stupid waste of a valuable asset. Blackhawks will be around until 2050. They will be the trucks.
