Our E performance gives the stop margin for a Flex calculation and shows the increased margin for decreased flex. I dont change it myself, and on short/narrow runways max flex is recommended. However, the aircraft perf will be better than predicted because the accel and stop distance and engine performance is assumed to be at the temp inserted as Flex, as the actual temp at take off is lower than this, there will be an increased margin over that calculated.
