Ok, difference from 3400 to 3900 is about 15%, a bit more than my
average differences from SS to Tan II, but in the ball park anyway. From
that point of view it seems to me that the four-year-old SS is an
outlier, and for some reason the energy reading you get for that batch
is too high. Or your batch sans vintage is one batch (unlike all the
rest) of SS that is as good as Tan II in energy return?!
