Oops, forgot that the GE engine has the lower nacelle drag. Also the RB211-524H2 has the highest thrust at brake release(besides the 4062), but lapses the fastest. By 1000 ft the GE will be highest the Pratt second and the RR last. In cruise the GE maintains thrust better at altitude, but not by much. The GE is also the quietest.
