AH, now I remember what it was. I originally listed all the equations out on my Ti-84+, and rather than performing the substitutions manually, I just inserted the functions into one another and let the calculator do all the hard work. Then I found the PEAK theoretical STR for each aircraft, regardless of the airspeed it occurred at. The F-22's peak was absurdly low - around 150 m/s - and then tapered off relatively steeply. The Eurofighter's plot rose more gradually, peaked at around 200ish, and then began falling again. That's why I'm getting these results now, whereas the earlier plot showed (reasonably) clearly that the F-22 was about one to two degrees per second better.

And I wish I had some real data to base my Oswald and Cd,0 numbers on. Maybe I should build myself some wind tunnel models...
