well, if I compare

I see a large difference in the background shape but if you look at the
signal region S/B is not so different (20/30% worse?)
But I agree that it is worse and this is due to the different mode
composition in the final sample.

By using the tables I sent in my posting it should be possible to track
which is the mode that is causing the difference.
