Sikorsky S-97 Raider versus Bell-Augusta BA609

The two aircraft seem to be very similar all around. There are major differences, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

BA609
Twice the engines
Twice the range
50% heavier mtow
25k’ flight ceiling, substantial lower hover ceiling

S-97
Higher hover ceiling both in and out of ground effect
More options for mounting armaments
Half the price
Less training for the pilot pool

I started this thread so people can debate the military advantages of both programs comparing one to the other.
