PzH 2000 contractor officials have said that they could develop an automated resupply vehicle based on the PzH 2000 chassis and modify the PzH 2000 howitzer to meet all of the Crusader key requirements and many of the other Crusader requirements.

PzH has 60 rounds available, more than twice what is currently available in the NLOS-C concept demonstrator (24 rds, if I can call that UDLP platform as such).
I also have heard talk of PzH 2000 maintenance/reliability issues, however everyone I know here in the US who has had contact with the system during its testing at the US ranges thinks its an awesome piece of kit.

 PzH 2000 vs. AS90 Braveheart - The World of Politics
My best estimate is that there was only half as much crewspace as in the PzH.
I got the feel that this was less well thought out as well and even the seats felt uncomfortable (and I was used to riding around in a very archaic terrain vehicle with less comfort than a Willy's Jeep).
This 600 hp engine is thus insufficient and besides the lower speed the crew had managed to get this vehicle stuck a few times.
