I'm pretty sure that EC175 is an exceptional helicopter as I'm sure that AW189 is an outstanding chopper.
I figure you look a little biased on Airbus product and very marketing oriented.
Please also consider some more aspects of your fantastic chopper if compared with the 189:

Usefull load: EC175 2600 kg; AW189 2900 kg

I think we must be a little pragmatic and maybe accept that the issue with the EC225 MGB has probably had an impact. Hopefully as the new shaft enters service and things stabilise the EC175 will have its day in the sun. I never forget that the EC225 has still not hurt anyone but the Insurers!
Run Dry Capability:
EC175 Land as soon as possible within 15 minutes
AW189 Land should be made within 50 minutes
