It would have been a lot better if you had done it the other way around; my reasoning there is that during December the miner fees in blocks was huge. That is where the real payout difference is noticed. I don't have the exact details but if you check the blocks from 12/20/2017 to 12/25/2017, the size of blocks I think averaged 17.5 or better. that extra 5 BTC per block was a huge bonus, and was a huge help in offsetting difficulty increases.
I was mining BCH during that period anyway, was giving more BTC on a daily basis.
But on the times I was mining Bitcoin I had PPS+ selected, so that pays out transaction fees as well. Regular PPS doesn't make sense on AntPool anymore, it pays out more only when transaction fees are under 1.1 BTC in a block, not sure why people still consider it as an option...
