Yes, I agree that your tests were indeed comparing apples to apples.
At least for your two systems...

Re: Another look at Solar Powered refrigeration on sailboats

I did remember the previous thread correctly.
Your testing was done using a holding plate with TXV and a thin plate system with a restricted orifice.

We are not really comparing...
