quite correct, the dissipation difference in the performance of the top units (of the same size) is indistingusable by any user
rads are now all about price/reliability/features
another consideration not addressed in this testing, unit to unit variation
I've tested multiples of 3 mfgrs' 120mm rads and seem to see ~5% variation (too small a sample)
one can appreciate that a different sample selection could see a reordered ranking
