Based on your information, perhaps the lower compression rotors wouldn't make

as much difference as I thought it would, unless the impact on a rotary is

different than that of a piston engine.

 

It is a bit different; although based on Mazda data, above about 6000 rpm you won’t know the difference between 9.0 and 9.7 ratios.  At 5200 I estimated the difference at about 4%.
