Indeed, reading articles will show that the upcoming Euro6 B5TL will produce 240bhp, which is about what most B9TLs produce (a small number of the Go North East examples have more powerful engines). Compare that to Scania, it ranks 10bhp above Stagecoach's preferred engine choice on the Scanias, the 230bhp (K230 or N230).
