Quokka, sorry for the error on the Evening Post there. I have edited in the correct city.
Clement, I had no idea Qantas had even ordered 737-800s! I only had a partial view of the rear half of aircraft at a distant gate. (This excuse will work only once for an old plane spotter like me.) I've flown them both and no doubt there's substantial difference between a 400 and an 800, like 15-20 feet I reckon...
