There had been an upset earlier in the thread due to incorrect terminology. Let's not repeat.

Bus (320) has ABRK: LO/MED/MAX.
Max is the equivalent of full manual (and successful!) braking designed for rejected takeoff. From design point of view, use for landing is off limits.

Oin' (737) has ABRK: RTO - equivalent of full manual (and successful!) braking
and landing modes of 1/2/3/MAX

Max is maximum autobrake setting suggested by design for landing. It is much less then the RTO setting and so it must not be used for takeoff since braking performance is insufficient.

My comment is that you cannot compare MAX(bus) to MAX(boing) as these are two completely different braking modes.

Happy braking.

Did I mention that I landed with PRK BRK set on Sunday? No, no, that would never happen not even in a sim...
