Your logic is nonsense. Not worth bring up. No one in their right mind will use a 72 cell panel in a 12V pwm system.
The same rules apply when comparing 400W 36 cell panels using pwm and 400W 72 cell panels using mppt. The difference in gain will be on average only 5%.

I see no real advantage when using a higher Vmp. Temperature still reduces power by the same amount. 90's thinking still apply.
The difference between Vmp and battery voltage is directly proportional to the gain you would expect to see an MPPT controller provide. The greater the difference, the greater the advantage will be for MPPT over PWM.
