Cool thread, I like the systematic way you're testing these.
I don't use these balls, but my best golf buddy does. I razz him when he can't stop the ball in a greenside short-sided situation, but he always gravitates to them and actually uses the good old Noodle a lot. Last time we played, he used a red Srixon Soft Feel that I assumed he'd found, but then I saw him getting a new ball out of a sleeve and he told me he'd just bought a box on the way to the course. And I have to admit, he hit a lot of very good iron shots that day. Can't wait to see how they do in your test.
