I wouldn't focus too much on the detailed numbers from one end of the world to the other. They both seem to make about the same power as the old and trusted Veco .19 RC on that prop, so certainly good enough in order to fly something.
In practice, I'd be putting a big prop on it. I think a 9x5 is the minimum prop K&B recommended, but I'd be going for a 10x5-10x6. These things excel on big lumber. I tried a 13x4W and got in the mid 6k range on diesel. Just under 9k on an 11x6 IIRC.
