Correct, need to consider current draw.

Maybe present your statement to Steve Neu or other electrical engineers at the motor factories to see if they can give feedback.
The Neu charts I've seen that suggest equal wattage, also indicate different voltages. Rather an important point that you appear to be overlooking, you seem to only mention changing motor and gear.
