that makes no scence other than wear one was ridden more days or harder or by a heavier rider.
As for the color thing fadding from where they are stored.
Maybe the lighter pair was in a store window all summer long and fadded.

The flex thing is harder to explain what i mentioned are the only things that could change a flex but none should affecy flex that dramatically as you said!
