Ok...
I just tested a long open can set at 431mA's and the difference is also 5%.
It must have something to do with how close the lens must be to the different diodes to get focus. The closer the lens must be, the less of a difference you will have.
Long open can red at 431mA's:
* AixiZ acrylic (un-opened) - 240mW's
* AixiZ acrylic (back opened) - 252mW's
It should be mentioned that, although I never tried it (other than this power comparison), I have read that the plastic on the back of the AixiZ lenses will start to melt if you do not cut it open... (that's why I have always cut the back opened since my first build)
