Thanks for your clarification.
Firstly, it was Boeing that was too cheap to start offering a clean sheet product. Secondly, it was said several times in this very topic that AC purchased the 737 purely on price. So it may seem that AC was not only too cheap to buy a clean sheet design, but it was too cheap to purchase the derivative aircraft better suited for current engines.
