Ambient temperature in the basement was only 18C, not sure if that’s making a difference, but was the same for both types.

I’ll take some current measurements when I get time. That should help us get a better comparison with your measurements. Let me know what configuration you use for current measurements, my original only has 256 bytes ram, I could add the 8154 back in if that makes it closer to yours. I don’t want to add more ram unless I find some retro sockets.
