The NMA will have a massively higher range than the 753; it isn't targeting 2000 mile routes the way the 753 does.
The range of the 753 is 3400 miles, not 2000 miles. The range of the 797 might be higher (and note that they are only floating the concept, nothing is definite), but scarcely "massively" higher.
