I would speculate that most peak and average difference between the two heads would have to do with cam selection and header design/size. I bet an apples to apples comparison with a mild cam (say my hotcam which is nothing radical and has a small lift (.525") would show similiar results. As duration and lift get bigger, I bet the 243 shows some advantages, but for mild, I bet the 241s hold their own.

Ported 243s will make more power. I never knew why. For the longest, the answer was "just because".. but I asked the right people and was directed to some pictures. You can see why the 243 flows better. It doesn't have that sharp turn before the valve, rather a smooth turn.
Left is 243 right is 241
