The BBJ is available with various auxilary fuel tanks so that explains the huge range.
I think a BBJ will be less of a risk than a B762 for EOS.
However, the B762 has crew commonality with the B752, so that has to be a factor.
Maybe EOS could wet lease a BBJ from an airline like Privatair ala KL and LH, but obviously with the EOS interior.
