The problem with the VH-71 was not the aircraft per-se, but the way every 3rd Col. was adding his own special gadget to the "absolutely required equipment" list... so that both cost and weight increased past the point of reason.
As long as a more reasonable equipment suite is specified, and then forbidden to be changed from that moment until the aircraft have been in service for at least 5 years, then it should do fine!
After all, the 5 (or so) "support" VH-71s had been delivered, it was the dozen or so "fully-equipped" variants that were bogged down in the "constant re-specification of outfit" cycle that were the death of the program.
