As said before, manufacturer benchmarks aren't worth much. See if overclockers.com will do a test. Also don't use any chemical polishing agents. Lapping is not done for the shine first & foremost, its done to make sure the base is flat & that the TIM can set with the thinnest layer possible. Chemical polishing agents fill the pits with thermal insulator as said before. That alone makes both blocks underperform.
