The point of my analysis is to show the incredible efficiency of fusion-rockets . Even if the combustion-chamber ran an average temperature comparable to that of a chemical-rocket , it would still be ~ 20k. times more efficient than that engine .
An example of this scenario would be an ICF engine ; one powered by an auxiliary energy-source , in order to avoid impeding the exhaust-stream , and reducing the specific-impulse .

What you have said (twice) is "if we had a much better engine, it would be a much better engine."
