  If both were wintered in a normal wintering shed - is there any basis to
my two different gut feelings about these
>configurations.

I winter both configurations...4 frame nucs packed with bees and
honey...and 10 frame "nucs" with similar clusters. I see no difference
between the two, except the 10 frame has more honey, and doesn't run out of
feed in spring when brood rearing really gets going...as the 4 framers
sometimes do.
