Problem with Leonardo is support.  Either parts availability or service.  It's not the 109 but the Navy's 73 (AW-119) has had more than its share of off the assembly line issues.  (TH-73's) Some other entities as well to include issues with leaking fuel cells, a/c not working properly, avionics not talking properly to Genesis, tail rotor issues, main gear box seepage,...  Attractive, yes.  Fast, Yes.  Fuel consumption, avg for weight.  If planning on flying single pilot, you may want to review wt/bal if doing loads.
