Obviously.
This not some wonder feature that will suddenly make the aeroplane go like a Saturn 5. If the 350nm is correct, then, as I said before, that equates to around 1750kg extra RTOW. For a ~50 tonne aeroplane, it's not much in relation to how the jet will perform during the takeoff. It appears to be nothing more than a reduction in/elimination of the pilot-induced delays/handling foibles, so allowing a bit more TO weight.
