The Kalman filter has the benefit of auto-tuning on itself as you
run-in, but for a time-frequency system, it's just a self-tuning
PI-loop, so when it have stabilized, the difference is very small. It
took a bit of re-drawing of the processing, but when it showed up on the
sketch-book it was very clear what was going on.
