Nice there was a looong runway nearby

With the cg about to go out of limits and no adequate runway available, you'd have a nasty choice between an overrun at considerable speed or a ditching.

Perhaps not having reverse on the outers needs reconsideration. If you are faced with an overweight landing without slats, spoilers and anti-lock braking, who cares about FOD?
