No You need to consider the fact that Junior8 is an unknown opponent when the opponents in argentina had the option to buy Hiarcs8 and plan their win before the game. Assume that this add 50 elo. Assume that the fact that Junior8 is a better software add another 50 elo. Assume that the better hardware add another 50 elo. We get 2580+150=2730. Uri
