Earlier you claimed it was the "premium experience," now it's the "vastly superior" range. Which is it?

Note the A300 was the first widebody plane to only use 2 engines, which became the standard. Boeing quickly realized that it needed to play catchup. The 767 was Boeing's response to the A300. It also makes sense that in the decade between the A300 launching and the 767 launching that there was increases in range.
