A similar thing has been done with the 92 so I'm not sure that can really be held as a black mark against the Puma.
A certain operator that did cruise at 80% Q is now using 70%, commensurate with most other operators - allegedly due to a higher number of rejected MRGBs in comparison.
Of course the RFM says you can sit at 86% all day...
