Matt,
Thanks for your efforts!

It is hard to comment, as you did not consider F/stops, etc.
But take a look at:
http://www.htsrecordings.com/lens15-16.htm
and
http://www.htsrecordings.com/lens7-8.htm

and you will notice a difference in contrast/crispness, at least on my screen. I prefer the Nokton shots to the collapsible Summicron.
