As you (almost) say there is, at these settings, no practical difference in IQ.

People on here always reply that a test is worthless but two images taken at the same time of the same scene in the same light is exactly the test that makes sense to me at least.

It’s not a good test because the image is largely empty, so you can not compare the edges of the frame, if you just look at the right side you can tell how less sharp it becomes. There are not many colors either, just blue, brown and green. The focus is far in the back, where everything is concentrated in the center. It is taken in bright daylight, where even $100 lenses are nicely sharp in the center. This makes the photo a poor basis for a comparison.
