5.2%!
That's real impressive I bought a version of the scale over the weekend that didn't have the athlete mode since the store didn't have one. I come close but not quite to 10 real hours of exercise a week ('cause I go so fast on the bike of course) so I don't know if I really qualify anyway. I've looked around and your 7 point difference between standard and athlete seems about right.
So right now I'll just use mine to gauge the change. But even with 7 points off I'm still waaayyy off your reading so I've got some work to do. On the other hand I only got passed by two bikes (and passed some groups even) on a 28 mile ride that is a very common route at a busy hour so I'll take that to mean something.
