Not sure if you were inviting comments from interested bystanders too, but I do 
think that the 'warp off' image has more consistent visual density. 

The weight from glyph to glyph seems to have more variation with warping on. 
It's hard to put this down to specific details of individual letters; it's more 
of an overall impression.

Does that make sense at all?

Kind regards,
