How much more potent is Peruvian Torch compared to San Pedro?.....Experiences

I only have experience with San Pedro. Potency with cactus does seem to be pretty variable in general, but most of the San Pedro I've used over the years does seem to be on the potent side (relatively speaking) compared to the experiences I've heard from others. Where as little as 5 inches would induce a nice mild experience, and I've taken 10 to 12 inches of SP before that I would compare to 100 to 125mcg of L (If I had to compare it to something). Other than the first two times I've brewed up some tea or reduced down to tar, it's turned out sufficiently potent.
I have one foot of Peruvian torch and three feet of SP brewed up for two heads...So before I jump into that, which I plan on doing regardless, I thought I would inquire about the potency of the PT from those of you that have experience with it and/or SP. Also curious if it has any different of a "feel, from possibly a somewhat different alkaloid profile.
I've looked at the profiles for both cactus in regards to alkaloids/potency, and it seems to be all over the place....

They're pretty similar in potency in my experience. If you step it up to Bridgesii you'll experience a real difference.

Not if his san pedros are as strong as he says they are

Potency is really a crap shoot with the peruvianus until you've sampled a clone to see how it is.

I see...kinda what I was thinking, could be weaker, could be stronger. With the #'s I saw in regards to potency being all over the place, figured it would average out along the same lines.
Since I already have that foot of PT brewed with three feet of SP it's going to be a little hard to judge, but ....
Most of the SP I've worked with and grow has been from the same two "specimens" or "mother plants". Both of them are groups of columns 10ft to 15ft tall, easily 20+ columns in each, the main columns are huge! Considering their size and the area they were planted, I'm assuming they're some rather old cacti. Not sure if that contributes to them being on the potent side for SP.
But yea...I've really been wanting to try bridgesii, one of these days.
