advatages of using as later model bin?

Is there a measureable difference in performance in using a later year bin? Say like for a 86 TPI going from a $32 to a $32B or $6E. If you put the car on a dyno or ran it through the quarter mile and changed nothing else but the bin will there be a difference between the outcome?

What I'm trying to find out is if it is worth it from the get-go to update the bin and how much performance is to be gained. I realized that the table are updated but does this translate into a big difference?

Big difference, no
noticeable yes.
Performance, slight
Drivibility, YES

So much of doing calibrations is about drivibility, least for me. WOT is a small part of life when driving. Again for me, I want instant response, fantastic gas mileage, long engine life, good brake life, yada yada....
