Hope they don't mind me posting a photo from the page here:

wonder what that translates to real world numbers and on a ballistic test. Possibly not much?

I believe you are correct with an exception for the Liberty stuff. If that chart is correct (I couldn't find any 60 grain 9MM on the Liberty site (http://libertyammunition.com), only 50 & 55).
I think 200+FPS more velocity out of the P9 would be significant. If I'm reading the charts right on Ballistics By The Inch (http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/9luger.html), that translates to about 50-60 more ft-lbsf in other weight bullets. Then again, that might not hold true for the lighter Liberty stuff.
