You are assuming engine behaviour and comparative strength is miracolously completely different in playing vs analysis. This is false. Running in analysis mode is the same as playing a very very slow game, as far as the engine is concerned. There's nothing significantly different about the two internally. >In my case, I always allow the engine to reach a "reasonable" search depth.

Why would a reasonable depth magically make things different for the sake of this discussion? >Don't be fooled by SSDF results. SSDF could care less about the analysis uses >of the chess programs.
