The numbers do imply that from an available power & torque standpoint that the 718 blows away the 981. Much more torque is available at lower revs. I'd love to know how it stacks up in practical application.

Here are a few (approximate) data points from those graphs. The 718 is way ahead everywhere except high-rev torque, which drops off much earlier.
