A320/A319 speed brakes

On the 320 with autopilot on speed brakes are limited to half detent
whereas on 319 they can be extended all the way(full). My guess is that with the lesser weight, wing loading is reduced and as a result the autopilot is able to handle it ????.....anyones knows the correct reason.
