The interface between the auto throttle logic and speed seems more balanced with less of the RoC change that one sees on the NG where one minute the RoC will melt away to zero and the next ( normally with a 1000’ to go) is back up at 1500fpm

Due to the approach speeds the aircraft is cat D and you notice that it eats up runway unless you are spot on speed and aggressive with auto brakes, anything under 2500m LDA my default is AB3 wet or dry, I predict that there will be overuns this coming winter season.

NG -800 has a bad rep when it comes to landing mishaps. I really hope your predicitons about the Max does not come through.
