Testing your two samples won't resolve the issue. People have posted photos which show a clear difference in contrast. I think it's most likely Amazon went for a lower grade of the Pearl screento save money...just like computer chips, E-Ink screens are graded as produced and the better batches are sold for higher cost. Naturally some of the samples within a batch will vary but it's less likely for people to notice or be bothered with high graded batches.
