I drive diesel vehicles everyday and never take them much past 2500rpm because between 1200 and there is where they do their work.
If you look at that chart, both come on at 1250, the 2.0l peaks at 2000 and drops off whereas the 3.2l holds its torque until 2500 where they align again.
Its only the initial rush and extra 50nm in that short 1750-2000rpm range where the bi-turbo has any consistently usable advantage.
The gains in the actual real world usable range are next to nothing and it uses just as much fuel to achieve it as stated by Simon.
As I said, its probably a great driveline for many applications, and is more refined, but its not the be all and end all that has been pushed by certain people.
I think Cyberwasps link gives a much better real world indication of its abilities than your dyno chart and it got its **** handed to it in every aspect.

Aren't the utes in the video more powerful regardless of what engine the Ranger has...I think we need to keep in mind the 2.0L was developed to meet future regs and provide a
base engine to replace the 3.2L which eventually has to be dropped just on emmisions compliance. By the time it's dropped we get "other engines" to sit above the 2.0L Ecoblue.
Edit: In fact in the UK Edge ST-line a version of this 2.0L has 177kW/500Nm..maybe that should have been the Raptors engine until it can fit a V6. Edge St-Line's 0-100 is 1.6 secs faster in AWD form over the fwd 100Kg lighter Edge regular 2.0L diesel.
