Happy Thanksgiving, Gary and ALL,
If you go to the files section of Indoor_construction, there are two rubber motor files from me, one compiled .exe file and one spreadsheet. Both do about the same and let you enter launch and landing winder turns and rubber batch for a few batches. Then run the plot. The area between the launch vertical line and the landing vertical line is your area and it is calculated for you. You can also calculate the prop revolutions per second and the average power used during the flight. I calculate the power in milliwatts.
To answer your real question requires more knowledge than I have, but at least this can help you measure and calculate something to compare between various motors and props.
