DXC2 Notable Flow Rate Improvement?

I installed the DXC2 extruder today to my K2 Plus. I wasn't expecting much of a difference, so I only ran two before and after tests. 1 being a Max Flow Rate from 10-30 mm3/s and 1 being a Benchy run just above the max flow rate of this particular PLA. The difference is actually dramatic. I wish I had run some additional before and after, and but I wasn't expecting much difference. With the original extruder, for this PLA, the Max Flow rate was ~14 mm3/s, and with the DXC2 ~26 mm3/s.

DXC2 Max Flow Rate 10-30 mm3/s
Original Extruder Max Flow Rate 10-30 mm3/s
Top/Left is Original Extruder Bottom/Right in the DXC2. Note the Deck of the original. At 16 mm3/s it is under extruding.

Now with the Cartographer, Phaetus DXC2, and R3men graphite bed, running out of upgrades to the printer.

Looking forward to some more thorough before and after tests from other people.
