New Question ref Max continuous vs Take off

A thought occured, to which I would be grateful for an answer,

I've not got the flight manual in front of me so excuse if the figures aren't 100% accutate.

Why is it that the difference in Max continuous and the 5min take off rating is 0.9" in a Beta 2 R22 and a Raven 2 R44 it is 2.9". My logic would have suggested that the two figures would be similar. Alternatively is the R44 significantly more downrated in the cruise?

I've asked around, but not yet got a conclusive answer I am happy with.

Thanks
