Yes, more dry power would have been good, trouble is, the sfc is/was v.important at low altitude. However, at 700+KIAS in any Tornado, I think you will find that the core engine is just an APU, almost all the thrust is from the pressure recovery in the inlet coupled with the afterburner.
However, the (almost) unbelievable thing is that Concorde (BS OLYMPUS 593) cruised at Mach 2.0 IN DRY POWER!
