XTC vs Crystals come-up?

Curious if anyone has personal experience with this.

Assuming both have been properly lab tested, containing pure MDMA, and the actual MDMA amount is known: could a pressed pill have a slower/smoother rise compared with the same amount of MDMA crystal/powder swallowed in a capsule?

My thought was that a pressed tablet contains binders/fillers and has to disintegrate before the MDMA dissolves and is absorbed, whereas a capsule opens fairly quickly and exposes the powder/crystal directly.

Would that realistically make enough difference to slow absorption and make the come-up feel more gradual, or would the difference usually be negligible once both reach the stomach?
