A320NEO lower Vapp in CONF FULL

Hi all,

At the airline I work we started operating A320 NEOs with PW engines a few months ago and I noticed that they have a much lower approach speed in CONF FULL than the CEOs we operate (MNSs 7500/8800 with, as I understand, the same wing). What's the reason for such a change? I know the new engine comes with a new pylon but still a 6/8kt difference is a lot to me. CONF 3 speeds remain similar though.

Thanks in advance for your answers!
