My (very) approximate estimate (trying to work with published data) is that the 800SFP would offer similar full payload range possibilities out of SEN to an A320.
Landing performance has always been the problem with the -800 at SEN. The SFP appears to address this issue, though the treatment of wet runway data might still be a consideration - hence perhaps recent comments about grooving the SEN runway ?
It's often been said that 738s are a no-go at SEN for year-round profitable operation. Surely they are more likely to be using their new purchases from Laudamotion?:
