I agree with most, so I guess I'm just picking at knats. But being a technical forum that's where we learn.

Polar fan mass should mostly affrect acceleration and fan mass flow should mostly affect the turbine energy to keep the RPM constant. Some features act like flywheels and are good but both Boeing and Airbus care about the mass that they have to balance on the wing, therefore less weight sells.
