Default Engine Thrust: Is it the only factor?

I just ordered a Carden 30% Xtra. It ways between 19 to 21 pounds and calls for a 45cc to 70cc engine.

I like the ZDZ's and the 60cc claims to generate 38lbs of thrust with a 22x10 prop.

Is thrust the only factor to consider or is it misleading, assuming the 38lbs is good number.

Thanks
