The increase might not necessarily be much of an advantage; for us police operators, much of our time is spent in a high hover, often downwind, so unless we see an increase in max continuous torque its usefulness will mostly be confined to those like corporate operators who use the take-off rating to get en route and accept the knot or so lower IAS. Not to mention c of g probs as pretty much anything we would want to do would push it further forward.
