51$ versus 62$

On the opening roll, 51$ (i.e., 13/8 6/5) and 62$ (i.e., 13/5) result in very similar positions. One might expect, therefore, that for any second roll, the correct way to play it versus 51$ would be the same as the correct way to play it versus 62$.

Stick's rollout results are almost consistent with this commonsense reasoning. The most notable exceptions for money are:

1. 51$ 62R (i.e., 24/16) comes out on top, while 62$ 62S (i.e., 24/18 13/11) comes out on top, with 62$ 62$ a close second.

2. 51$ 63R comes out on top, while 62$ 63$ (i.e., 13/4) comes out on top.

Do the opening experts here have any comments on these exceptions? By "opening experts," I mean to include the XG bot.
