I think I can see why the regular bowline tied in the bight of a rope would be strongerbecause there are four ropes inside one of the knot loops meaning the rope cannot bestressed as much under hi tension and being wrapped around a small radius. In the other loop portion of the knot, there are two ropes being passed around the pull end of the rope instead of just one so the forces in each would be reduced to one half.As far as easy to untie, I would think in the bigger knot where the ropes are not wrapped so tight, that it would be easier to grap a knot part and push it open.
