I did some casual comparisons of the Mutec alone vs the Mutec with the cybershaft OP21a-D and there is a clear difference. The clocked version is a bit more of everything.
Note that I am using a special version of the Mutec that was provided to me without power supply. I am driving the Mutec with a Paul Hynes SR7T LPS. That may also explain the amazing results I am getting, but I was not able to do a comparison since I cannot use the Mutec without it.
