Is that in theory, or in practice? Were the primary energies the 
same, or different? Breakrates? What had the lower inductance, 
primary, secondary, both? I won't ask for more details at the moment. 
As you can see, there is more to it than simply comparing two 
inductances.

Inductance alone does not determine the coil's resonant frequency. 
Capacitance is the missing part of the considerations here. Physical 
coil size matters as does topload. So too does........
