Whereas at Habsheim, there was only the last 2.5° (if 17.5° is correct) of rotation available, and would only approach the limit gradually.
Plus on the Airbus video demo he was at low speed, but keeping the thrust on (i.e. the engines were not spooled down - unlike Habsheim). Also the demo airspeed was stable and not decelerating prior to full back-stick.

Do you have a reference handy for that, or is it a guess?
Being a programmer, I am naturally averse to numbers without knowing what they are and where they're from (aka "magic" numbers).
