As for a not-so-scientific test, I did have a guy send me a video (same guy as in a previous video) who shot both through a piece of tin backed with compressed wood. The 2-blade actually penetrated about 2" deeper through the barriers than the EDGE, though the POI wasn't dead nuts. The EDGE hit a the target high, and the barriers actually fell over, which may have had something to do with the difference in penetration, as the arrow likely lost momentum as the target/barrier itself tipped over ...

Of course, as odd as it may seem, the 2-blade is going to penetrate well, even with the large cut. The geometry of a standard 2-blade design means a more streamlined geometry in general—and the same is true of the 2-blade BR.

To this point, the vast majority of the critters shot with the 2-blade have been complete pass-thru's ... including several hogs, and a Kudu!

Either way, both of these heads are more than capable of deep penetration/pass-thru penetration ... especially on a deer sized animal.

I didn't think to take photos, but I just finished broadhead tuning my new Maxxis today ... and they do some wicked damage to a Block Fusion target as well, lol!
