When trying to see the differences between two models, PGSTAR (or other)
plotting is key.  As Aaron explained, you have material nearing the edge
of the EOS tables.  I would bet that if you look at a plot like

in the standard and modified cases, you'll see pretty significant
differences in the structure.
