It will make no difference to VS. The choice of machine was important 40 years ago when the Jet age was starting but now, the pax do not care what the machine is - they want it to be cheap.
There will be a tiny number of pax who will say:
"I'll never go on that great big thing"
or
"I can't wait to go on that great big thing"
The greatest majority have no idea what 'thing' they are on - but they know exactly what price they paid.
Now, if VS can run the a/c on the LHR~JNB route so as to increase the seats per week,
then they will consider it. That is, if their license is about rotations rather than seats per day/week.
