Harold wont like my answer either but you seen the results of my 220w mono compared to the 230w poly where the poly produced 33% (or better)more amps in almost all light. Bright sun.. poly 15a, mono 12 amp, total overcast poly 1.78 amp, mono .78 amp. Those are MPPT numbers as I don't get real time amps coming in and yes the poly is 10 watts bigger. Still that's a big difference in amps for a small difference in watts.
I would suggest that if you are picking these up in person to do a simple SOC test side by side.
