Cost less maybe, but you get what you pay for.

More capable, no way.

Using the same engines, the bus struggles to get to 31,000 fully loaded
at 350,00. The 767 goes right up to 37,000 carrying 400,000.

Used to watch the USair bus struggle to make IAD from ORY while the 767
went to ORD and DFW with no sweat.

Minor nit..."Carrying" 400k? Surely you must mean a max t.o. weight?

Yes, the point was the efficiency of the wing. Which for the 767 is
designed to carry 500,000.

Typical payloads I see on those stage lengths is about 60-65k for a
767-200.

767-300.

Any more than that at those stage lengths and it gets a bit
tough if there is any weather at the destination. The -400 can be a
real headache.

So what happens if either a 'bus or Boeing loses DC power? How far
will either likely fly then?

I've not heard of a DC power loss problem. Which airliner has this?
