All the talk is of fuel savings, extended TBO, maintenance savings etc, nothing about performance comparisons? That thing would have to be fairly light I imagine and I didn't think it was ever going to get off the ground!

Maybe initial test flying means you just baby it along? Thats probably the reason.

Still, they must have some idea of performance against standard engines.
