Those stretched engines are not good. I'm not impressed by that, no matter how many tons you can lift. Sorry to say.

Idk, why it's bad? Can you please explain?
Several reasons, but the main one being that they're not needed and break the game as it removes any difficulty in getting things into orbit.

Stretching engines improves their performances: it increases their thrust while letting their fuel consumption unchanged.

While you are perfectly free to do as you like (that's your video after all), it was not really necessary in this case. We tend to avoid solutions that ease a mission a bit too much.

Also, it increases your ISP to literally impossible levels. So you are cheating the system and that is not impressive at all, it gives your rocket impossible performance.
