The differences for me usually come from type of shifter (downtube shifts faster than handlebar shifters), length of cable, how they're routed, lubrication, and age. Since what you have is all new, I'd suggest routing and length of cable. Post pictures and someone here might be able to tell you. And of course, there can be manufacturing defects in cable and housing.
