A quick calculation suggests the densities are about the same. I did very little research online but found some data that suggests the 0.43 caliber paintball have about the same density too (and the data I found agreed with your figures for weight).
Assuming the paintballs are spherical and have the same density the ballistics should be comparable until some limiting factor kicks in. See http://www.mcarterbrown.com/50ballistics/dropindistance.html for some real-world tests. It seems that out to about 75 feet the 0.68s and the 0.50s are comparable. I did not search for any data on gel thickness.
