Default Comparison needed: PL200/230 vs YB400

I own a YB 400 and I noticed that this radio performs better
(sensitivity
and bandwith) than DE1102 on SW band.

On MW band the radios are the same (except Led S-meter of Degen 1102
that is very inaccurate), on FM band Degen is better than YB400
(as selectivity).

On Radiointel I read a review about PL230:

http://www.radiointel.com/review-tecsunpl230.htm

Exactly:

"In my comparison I found that the PL-230 was almost always 1 signal
level higher than the YB-400. If I was tuning the BBC at a signal
strength of 3-4 on the YB-400....it was always 4-5 on the PL-230"

Now, I don't understand how PL-230 can be almost 1 signal level higher
than YB400
since in my comparison I found YB400 more sensitive than Degen 1102
(always
with whip antenna of course).

I would like to hear comparisons (on SW bands) from owners of both
radio: PL230/200 and YB400

Thanks in advance
