Normal 757-200 Cruising Speed?

So I wanted to do a nice and easy 757-200 flight today with Delta from ATL-FLL and I didn’t know what cruising speed I should use. I usually use 0.79 but now I’m seeing varieties of different professional 757-200 pilots use cruising speeds such as 0.78 to even 0.81. Can anyone maybe help me with this?Thanks so much!

Anywhere between 0.78 to 0.80 should work fine

It really depends on what you’d like to achieve: better fuel burn and more flight time or faster speed due to time constraints. I think simbrief allows speeds between 0.78-0.82 for normal cruise if you use that to flight plan like I do
