When you’re rich, you drive a Rolls Royce. When you’re very rich, your jet is powered by Rolls Royce engines.

An excellent point, which also applies to one of the UK variants of the F-4 Phantom II, the F-4J, which carried twin Rolls-Royce Spey turbofans that were more powerful than the US GE J-79s and allowed the “J” model to operate off smaller British carriers.
