I believe that the difference is even less than 50 elo. I also said that it is also possible that the new time control can help humans who do not know to use their time correctly and get into terrible time trouble. Here the humans get 30 seconds after every move so there is no case when they have less than a minute for 2 moves or more than 2 moves and I saw cases when good players had 1 minutes for 5 moves or more than it under the old conditions.
