As HeliComparator says, none delivered yet. Your operation might want to touch base with the launch customers, most of whom have been involved with the program through the CAT process and will therefore have first-hand knowledge of the type.

Regarding commonality with other EC types, as posted previously the 4-axis AFCS is common with that on the EC225 and the tail rotor is reportedly derived from that on the Tiger. The 'Helionix' avionics suite will also be common with that on the EC145 T2 and other unspecified future models.
