    Not necessarily: on a solids basis SLES-2 can post higher Ross-Miles values than SLS. The more significant thing is the differences in foam quality. You’ll notice the bubbles are bigger with SLS (why it subsides faster?) and richer with SLES. For years that’s why formulators used both in tandem; likewise with the ALS/ALES combination.
