As far as I remember he's looking for the RR engine.
If the price is right I guess any engine would do!
From a pilot point of view (I haven't yet flown the RR powered 380s here) I believe the engine response is sluggish compared to the GP 7270 engine; three spools and more inertia and all that! Just from what some of my colleagues tell me...
