It is pretty obviousl were the differences in the "middle speed" tissues are and that the bubble model approach overall causes more decostress which quite likely might produce more DCS..
Overall note that this is all much more relevant for Ocean Deep Bounce diving than it is for moderate depth long cave dives (and the resulting deco) and even less for deep caves with long bottom times..
Long bottom times at great depth generate very similar deco profiles between bubble and tissue models anyways as overall saturation throughout all compartments gets fairly high..
Not that I have experience in deep and long (only deep and short and somewhat shallower and long), but that is my take from playing around with the models and my conclusion drawn as why this little difference is happening
