I'd say your data was very similar to mine - I did 6 L subs @ 120 secs, and then 4 subs of 120 secs for RGB on the first night. On the 2nd run, I did 6 L subs @ 6 secs, and 4 subs @ 6 secs for RGB, so not really more data than you probably got. I did use Maxim DL to stretch it though and did PP in Photoshop (stretching via curves and levels). I'm sure you *can* match or probably, better this to be honest.
Data is similar. There's some tricks to using Pixinsight that I've yet to learn, so it's a different approach. Looking at your results, I'd say that there is a lot more data available to stretch.

I know that the HDR option is not popular with some people, but I'm tempted to try it out in PI out of curiosity.

Did you use the factory calibrated frames, or did you calibrate your own.
