Line spacing between different firmware

Since I've picked up a spare Glo I've been playing around with the newest firmware just to see differences. One thing I can't get right though on the newer firware is line spacing. The reader at the left has my preferred firmware of 2.4.0, the reader at the right has 3.5.0. The identical epub file is loaded. Both readers use the same size font, readingFontSize=28.

In the Kobo eReader.conf file, I manually changed 2.4.0 to readingLineHeight=1.225, which was posted as a tip to decrease the too wide line spacing at the time. The Kobo eReader.conf file for 3.5.0 has readingLineHeight=1. Yet the one with the smaller specified line spacing has wider spacing and 3 less lines per page.

What am I not getting about the newer firmware to force smaller spacing between lines like on 2.4.0? I tried lowering it below 1, but that doesn't seem to work at all, unless I just didn't hit on the magic decimal number.
