"If I understand correctly, a REAL balanced design should have about a 6db edge over the single ended version of the SAME piece."
This is due to most balanced signals also being differential, ie twice the amplitude. One benefit of impedance balancing is it allows differential noise coupled to the signal lines to appear as a common mode voltage at the receiver input. Receiver circuits of various flavors (such as op amps) are generally designed to reject common mode voltage on their inputs.
