[Elecraft] KX1 typical power out (or, manual anomaly?)

After performing my repair last night, I read through parts of the 
manual again and noticed this on p. 59 of the manual (my Rev. B as well 
as the current version Rev. C) "With L2 at its optimal turns spacing 
(for best harmonic rejection), 20 meter output will be about 0.3 to 0.6 
watts lower than 40 meters."

The odd thing is that I am getting 1w less on 40m, *not* less power on 20m.

Is this typical (more power out on 20m than 40m) or could there be a 
problem somewhere in my assembly?

I know that 4w on 20m and 3w on 40m is typical (and I'm fine with that), 
but wouldn't you expect higher power on 40m according to this statement 
in the manual?
