I doubt either being significant. When using a folding drive-side pedal, the amount that my triple ring adds to the fold cannot be detected. The Q-value increased by about 1cm. Incidentally, the Q-value study results, of which publication Jan Heine co-authored, lack statistical significance. I.e., while it is reasonable to assume that the Q-values matter for efficiency, it is hard to tell how much.
