A35K: 316T MTOW - 102T Fuel Required - 149T BW = Available payload of 59T, a 16T reduction from max.

Have flown both A & B brands, & have no bone to pick with either of them, but that took < 5 mins on IntraCX to work out. Hence why the Airbus has been taking most of the LH flying this past 3 years.
A359 much less.
