To me, a full OHB is a full OHB. If they allow 50% more weight up front, then the weight argument is not valid.
Just a thought, maybe there are less seats per bin in FC/FB?
Just thinking of my normal interstate travel, first class bins have approximately two seats per bin (one row, two seats), while economy has something approching six (two rows, three seats due to narrower seats and less space between seats). The bins hold what they hold, but divided among the passengers using them....
