"The candle that burns twice as bright,  burns half as long..."

Are both your units the high-performance version?  These units get their performance boost by doubling the beam current...  at the expense of half the life.  As a side "benefit" of the increased beam current,  you can get increased outgasing of contaminants in the tube/cesium supply.
