The Kindlegen version botched the dropcap and while Calibre also did not get it correct, at least it's not silly looking.
And nobody got the 2 horizontal rules (around the title) placed correctly

Kindlegen seems to have font baseline issues but your version is closer to tolerable than the OP's version


I have had success with titles (Text block class) with top and bottom rules by coding the Top and Bottom Borders (width and color) and padding (top and Bottom to space away, right and left to extend past the text)
