Anyone have actual numbers for reception improvement?

Kicking myself for not doing this before I upgraded my radio... I should know better!

Has anyone done a reception comparison before/after upgrading their radio? I'm not talking about "I had 1 bar, now I have 3" comparison, but actual RF numbers from FieldTrial.exe or the equivalent.

My phone has "more bars" in a few places than it used to, but that's just a graphical representation and it may be just a different scale in the stack. Since I rarely get anywhere where my reception drops to less than -90dB anyway, I haven't really seen a verifiable difference.

Now, if someone says they were pulling -95dB before the upgrade and -75dB after, that would be a verifiable improvement.
