I was having some issues getting the 211 to ramp up properly, so I had to ramp the throttle up a little slower at the start (as you can see from the slower current build-up), but from 5000RPM upwards its a fair comparison. I need to do a bit more testing on the ramp-up issues, I think it was probably just the voltage cut-off as my flywheel is pretty heavy and draws a big load.
I've done some more testing on the firmware versions. It looks like the throttle ramp-up time does have an effect on the overall power curve. Perhaps ramping up too fast creates excessive heat and reduces power later on. Something to bear in mind with driving style as I guess this could also happen on track.
With a slow-ramp up (for both firmwares) the difference is a lot less, although the 211 still looks slightly ahead on power.
