Intuitively, yes, agreed, the difference appears to be the rate/gain at which photons are accumumlated. That being true, detail and SNR is a compromise, if overexposure is signal.
In that case my technique has been to preserve detail and integrate slower for increased dynamic range. Regulated DSLR cooling adds another layer of noise reduction and it is tempting to increase exposure time or gain to increase SNR - sky and object brightness are limiting.
On lunch break.... have to go
