Although, if you needed 210 hp all the time then I would get the 435hp or mid-range version. At least you won't have to be at 100% load all the time and can achieve the same hp needed at lower rpms.
That is actually why there was no significant changes in B10 and B50 percentages with higher power levels. Because as in mich800 story of having a truck with the 200 hp, he needed to run the truck at full load at high rpm all the time just to keep up as to where the higher horsepower variants don't need to run at full load or rpm as much to do the same work.
So now you've made my point and contradicted everything you told me above:
- An engine of the same rotating assembly last longer at 210hp than at 435 hp, regardless of emissions.
How come a 200hp ISB doesn't live longer than a 300hp version?
