>If we are to believe the published numbers, New Glenn can lift 50 imperial tons to LEO

Well 45 tons, but this is in a reusable configuration.

>Starship Block III will hoist 200 tons

This is definitely not a reusable configuration. Maybe 150 tons if they are lucky.

>Falcon Heavy will lift 50-60 depending on how re-usable you want your launch to be.

60 tons for Falcon Heavy means zero reuse, that is a fully expendable launch. Falcon heavy also hasn't carried payloads heavier than 18 tons so far. So this number is something you can whip out to pretend that New Glenn sucks and yet completely miss the mark.

I was going off data from the wikipedia, so yeah, it may not be the most current or most accurate. It's in the ballpark, though.

And most of what I care about is small-sats, so Falcon Heavy's are more than enough lift for me. But yeah, other people may have have a completely different set of requirements and see the Heavy in a different light.
