The other consideration when looking at more powerful engines is that when in twin mode they will be a long way off their design point and consequently very inefficient. The result is horrendous fuel consumption. Look at the 76-B (sorry Nick, no offence!). In some areas that isn't a problem, but it certainly is in others.
