Adam,
You have caught me out with your simulator question as I normally fly the T3 in my sim. I fly it mainly from my own Flight Sim airport in Alaska, which took me three years to build. Its runway is a bit short for Trident operation and I do have to use the boost engine to get out with full fuel...I suppose I could do it easier with the T2 at its lighter max weight...But I stick to the T3 as it is what I flew till they amalgamated the Trident flights so that we all flew them all.
However, I'm quite sure that the Flight Sim differences between the types will be accurately represented with the correct empty weights and max weights in the config files.
Here are some more old shots that I published a few years back:-
