all this talk (pub talk? ) about easy jet using SOU with A320's

they (EZY) have been into SEN past few years but often undersold with payload restrictions and tech stop issues even to places like Palma which is less than 2 hours - I can see SOU being no different on quite a few days of the year (high temps, high winds etc)

I know Air Europa used to, on behalf of Thomson's Hols send in their 737-800's to/from PMI/IBZ but not sure if they were payload limited
the 738 does not have the braking capability of A320's or 757's which as an aside, Thomson, when they replace the 757 with 738's at BRS will find out to their cost on a regular basis

Back to SOU are Easy intending to use the 320Neo? - does this newer version offer better performance for shorter field ops than the baseline versions?
