I think it would be a lot more interesting to repeat the experiment at slower time control. It will take twice as many games to extract the same information from a different engine also (you will need a control group to normalize). At fast speeds, the engine that commits the fewest serious blunders wins. At fast enough time control, it basically becomes a random number generator. A rematch under the same conditions but at G/90 will bear out whether I am full of bologa or not.
