Chris, your results seem to indicate that we simply can't make very good predictions. That's both annoying and interesting at the same time. I wonder what those 'Plastic's would have done if they were both in only half sun.
Those potted 'Plastic's would have had alot more root zone temperature fluctuation, and confinement. I sometimes think that a mildly stressed semp will color up better. By the same token maybe Lynn's Summer water restriction would yield different results than my garden which gets moisture year round... maybe too much.
