R44 Performance Question

I'm not familiar with the R44, and I'm not comfortable with calclations based on manufacturer's optimistic empty weight figures. Can anyone offer a bit of guidance?

What is a representative aps/dry operating weight?

How is the performance on a UK summer's day at max AUW? Is thise going to be a limited power situation?

What is min in-flight fuel?

Are there many MkIIs in UK? Is it likely/unlikely to see one here?

Is there much to choose between them performance wise?

Thanks!
