People stink at comparing more than 3 items. We have a trait, call it comparative enhancement, that means we mentally enlarge small differences between things to make choices easier. If the first set is even slightly stiffer than the originals, you will mentally enhance it to be a worthy attribute, or mentally reduce it if they are not as stiff. When you next test something, you are comparing it to your enhanced impression of the second item, and have no string of context to the original item.
If testing 5 wheel sets against your Vitesses, I would treat them as five individual comparisons. Only when done roll them against each other.

Good post - and I agree that a comparison against a "control set" is the only thing that makes sense.
