XLR would work for SJU-MAD. You could even use mostly A220 or regular 320s to hit a ton of spots from SJU:

The problem is that FLL would also work for most of these and has much better O&D

They have publicly said the desire is to make FLL into a connect hub in the future, which would mean a lot of stuff like this.
