CFM or IAE powered doesn't matter. Both offer comparable engines for the bus. It just depends on how much power you want/are willing to pay for. 321's can get up to a bit over 33k per side if you pay for it, CFM or IAE. A lot of Chinese 319's have big engines. I am not sure about the ones we got. 27k in a 319 is a lot. I don't think I ever saw less than 70 degrees FLEX on takeoff, even above 6000 MSL.
