I suppose with the Griffon engined aircraft, there’s a lot more weight in the aircraft, given that there is the extra weight of the engine PLUS the weight in the tail to counterbalance the extra weight in the nose. The extra weight that is fairly close to the CoG would presumably not make as much difference as it would in the lighter Merlin engined aircraft.
