To be fair, LFT, the OP was asking why there is a difference in the limitations between A320 CEO and A320 NEO.

Also, as I am not involved in type certification/testing, I don't know what the limitation is the designers had in mind when they designed that 76t,/20kt limit, nor why this reason magically disappeared on the NEO. If this is so obvious, maybe you could enlighten us?
