John,

The numbers can get confused when weighting is included or not, and
frankly, manufacturers are going to post the best figures anyway.

The ultimate test is your ears. Forget the theory and use a test sound
that you can reproduce and record it at various settings, then listen
back at the same level and hear the hiss.
