Assuming of course the fire did not melt/burn the aluminium composite frame the panels attach to. How easy is that to replace?
In actual fact, the fire may have been propagated on the A350, as aluminium is a very good heat conductor. Who is to say the fire would not have taken out the whole crown and thus write the thing off?
But, like your suggestion the A350 would be easier to repair, that's idle speculation
