Yup. A 300 ppi (pixels per inch, because dpi is a print thing) panel will always be sharper than a 256 ppi panel. If the 265 ppi panel looks sharper then it's either because of uneven image scaling or different font sizes or weightings, not the panels themselves.

It's possible for a specific H2O panel to have better contrast than a specific ONE panel due to variations in manufacturing. I have two e Ink Pearl devices and one is noticeably darker than the other when side by side. It would not surprise me to see similar variations in different Carta panels.
