You can check for >yourself the data at www.overclockers.com; click on heatsink database. I have both types of fans. 60mm 38cfm and 60mm 50cfm delta fans, and 3 tornado 80mm 84cfm fans. I tried the 60mm/50cfm vs one of the 80mm/84cfm fans and on an SLK-700 the chip ran 5C hotter with the 60mm/50cfm. Not sure whats up with those reviews, but that 84cfm sure dropped the temp on my dual system. Are you sure you did the tests properly? The arctic silver needs to be the exact same thickness when you do the tests.. as well as keep all ribbons/wires/etc away from the fan intake. Test the heatsinks C/W with an external sensor (such as a comp-u-nurse) too to make sure everything is ok. I can't trust board sensors one bit (until I calibrate them with the real temperature via the comp-u-nurse).
