HEMS: B429 vs AW109

Hi,
Ever thought about a BK 117?
MAUW 3350 kg , Fuelburn also about 200kg/h
We operate with 2 pilots, operator, FLIR, SX16, auxiliary fuel tank (for IFR-routings) and have an operating radius of about 60 nm, which allows us getting there, search, and getting home without refueling.
With 500kg fuel you should easyly cover your 100nm task to and back...
