Now the question, how much bucks do you save by caring 200 kg extra or having to burn it off along the way?
It's the skippers responsibility to depart with enough fuel to fulfill the CFP (Company flight plan) requirements. It is also his responsibility not to land overweight, therefore it would be wise to consider the possibility my exist that you might get a shortcut or even a straight in approach.
Most airlines, when it comes to tankering, plan to land at MLW minus X percent to prevent you from having to burn it off along the way.
