Ec145

I have heard that the EC145 is a NEW AGE BK 117. Does anybody know if they have actualy taken the BK fusalarge and worked around it or if they desinged it from scratch?

And what is it like to fly?Does the fusalarge leak when it flies through rain like claimed on the EC155?

I ask these Questions as I am doing some research on which Medium helicopter is the most suitable for long distance SPIFR.This includes time spent in Maintenance and speed.Preferably 140kts+.
