As an additional observation, when we calculate the maximum Flex temperature (assumed temperature method) then the assumed stop margin (even on long runways) is often only a few meters.

We have effectively calculated the required thrust for the take off mass to produce a BFL for that runway.

Apparently the savings in engine maintenance > extra fuel cost incurred.
