Best glide speed (range) in 757?

Lost my copy of the sleep-inducing "Mishandling The Big Jets" book. Bext angle (Vx) is 235, best Rate (Vy at about 90 tons) is about 275kts. If both donkeys died, what would be the best for glide range? I think it is Vx as best angle of climb must be the same as best angle of "un-descent"?

PS in the sim you can lose them at 3000 off the end of the runway at EGCC and still have to lose height to make it back onto the departure runway!!!
