and I believe this will be a ongoing argument... Land ASAP on one engine or burn off fuel to land under the max landing weight.
I do no think so. We've had it here for several times, with very good contributions. No one I remember managed to say more than the Boeing's AERO article.

My take on all combined is that with a fuel-jettison aeroplane (never flown one!) there is a certain logic to reduce down to max OEI go-around weight in case of inclement weather. Otherwise, if calculated landing distance allows, there is no justification to say airborne for the sole purpose of reducing weight.
