Default Final glide

Have you confirmed for each whether or not they are using total energy arrival height, ie including the expected height recovery from pull up to best glide height? That could easily account for a difference of 400 feet.

Is the difference a fixed value regardless of distance to go, rather than a percentage?

Have you checked whether the elevation of your arrival airfield is set the same in both devices?
