I swear I was just about to type the exact same thing.
We'll see how good French engineers are. Can they tweak an engine for more thrust and better fuel efficiency???????
Let's not even start talking about stopping distance, and yes I know the 757 has extra set of mains, but just using reverse thrust, the difference in deceleration mind boggling.
I think substitution would be a better term than replacement.
