If this is what you consider a tank on the brink, then the rest of us are in trouble. My healthy tanks don't look as good as yours.

So I took reading from the center of the 19.5 reflector, also the front and rear of the reflector.
Never thought a reflector could influence the overall light output like that. Between your observation and Jose's, I'm thinking about changing reflectors.
