I'm not a big CH-46 fan but MV-22 cannot come into a LZ as quickly as any type of pure helo.
Larger cabin capacity than a 46, but not that much larger (I've been in both - MV-22 is much smaller than it looks).
Cannot be armed as a pure helo can.
Must operate MUCH further apart than "not touch each other"

The cruxt of my questions/concern was their over-all utility Vs their price-tag.
