Meh. Engines don't "sweat". If it is operating within design tolerances and properly built, it should make no difference.

That's like saying the N55 is "working its ass off" because the old E46 328 2.8L is also an inline 6 but makes less power. The comparison has no merit in terms of longevity conclusions - they are different engines with different designs and different builds.
