Endurance (as fuel burn/capacity) can be a big factor in overall speed.
A nonstop 800nm trip at 135kt takes only about 15 minutes longer than
a 800nm trip at 160kt with a fuel stop.


Most of us can't handle 6 hours without a pit stop to reduce hydraulic pressure.
I'll take the 160 knot plane with the smaller tanks.
