Opinion: Small motors more or less consistent than big motors?

On a sportsman tree all I see is the second yellow. I focus on nothing else. And the faster car leaves second. So I get both advantages.

Not quite the advantage of the clean tree in theory since you could be waiting for a while if the other car is considerably slower...While the slow car always has the lights come down at the same time (no waiting). Having said that, the good racers know how to block those things out and cut a light no matter the difference in E.T.
