Poll: ENVE says 60psi, Continental says 80-109psi. What to do...

I know. "Test out the different PSIs and ride what feels best for you". That is exactly what I'm doing. Today's ride will be at 70psi. Rode it at 80 the other day. Later on will try 60. But I'm just curious what the rest of you err towards when the recommended psi by the wheel and tire manufacturers are so different.

For background, I've mounted 25c Continental GP5000 TLs on ENVE SES 5.6 wheels on my Cervelo S3. The Conti site for 25c GP5K TLs gives a range of 80-109psi. The ENVE website for the 5.6, with tubeless 25c tires, at my rider weight, gives a recommended pressure of 60psi with the caveat of:
Note: Tire pressures are intended as a starting recommendation based on the listed wheel being set up with tubeless tire. The pressure value is calculated considering a tubeless set up, intended road surface, rider's weight, average bike weight, inner rim width, and tire volume.
