It was an oversight. I have the data but it did not make it into the graph. I will post an update later this evening.

...your results seem to show that the motor curves, even at full power, are slightly diferent across motor controlers. Is this an artifact of the testing? If it has to do with the electronic characteristics of the motor controlers, could you elaborate on the design implications?
The switching method, output PWM frequency, parts selection, and circuit design of a controller can affect the motor performance.
