The pay needs to be at least commensurate to legacy narrowbody pay at all years and both seats.
The legacies have several airframes over several bases. If you're not happy with growth with one combo you can move to another. We need more than legacy narrow body pay because we only have one airframe and 7 bases. We have limited flexibility with options and a best case of narrowbody pay. We need to set the bar a little flipping higher.
