I agree that there is variation between individuals in bone measurement to mass, but by that logic Scotty, who in absolute terms is not much bigger than Sue but in mass scaling terms quite a bit heavier, wouldn't have been so special.

In fact, "Scotty" was about the same size (if not slightly shorter) than "Sue". Just that some bones are wider which you know that it means that it was somewhat heavier. I think that both animals were over 12 m long (maybe up to 13 meters taking in count cartilage, flesh, fat and skin) and up to 9 tons, with "Scotty" porbably been the heaviest of the two by a short margin.
