Colibri49 - I think you've found the 'Oriental' version.
If China had been involved with 225 production then we would probably not be seeing the 175? Would have brought the purchase price down/operating costs but it is a large chopper IMHO and I have not done the market research!
If I've learnt one thing in rotary world - that must be never to believe blurb of PR department!!
Wish AW all the best in its battle with EC to produce the 'default' medium lift chopper as competition can only be good news for operators and passengers alike.
