Just trying to make sense of your post and which you found to have greater benefit.

I sold the unused stainless for several reasons. One is because of customer "service". The other was the ports are cast 24v round and the way they attempted to tapper it into a 12v rectangle was disappointing to say the least. The thing needed significant port work to be considered acceptable in my eyes. So, I called them to ask if porting would void my warranty. I think I got one "we will call you back with an answer and after that 6+ unanswered or returned calls and messages. Then I called Steed Speed. Steed answered the phone and all my questions. Their manifold did not need port work or anything what so ever, and was honestly too beautiful to be bolted to greasy motor in my ugly farm truck. The ports look like a $1500 CNC head port!
I though I made a thread about this, but maybe I didn't. I have alot of pictures showing the differences, caliper measurements, and maybe even a volume of each manifold. I think I also included the ported 3 piece in the comparison.
My EGT comparison is against a ported 3 piece manifold.
Hope that helps.
