That's probably because it takes a little bit of time before the meter is reporting back to the device after it wakes up. Most of them do that.
Does your Sony show you the exact charge level as an integer, or just let you count bars. If bars, then 3/4 bars could be just about anything between 25% and 50%. How long does yours last between fully charged and fully discharged. That's the only number that will really mean anything if you want to compare between them.
Everything I've seen says the battery life of a 505 is pretty close to what some of us are seeing with the DR800.

and I do think I remember reading on this forum a few months back that the DR800 has a larger battery than the Iliad

Yes, it does, and the iLiad got around 12 - 15 hours while my DR800 just went 14 days. The battery isn't THAT much larger. There is no APM in the iLiad, there clearly is in the DR800.
