.... The ERS inputs and outputs are tightly controlled, so there is little difference to be made there, except, maybe, in energy management.
The opportunity exists, however, to make more power with the ICE by improving its efficiency.
well .....
(at present anyway) the ERS inputs and outputs aren't tightly controlled
the MGU-K actions aren't limited to 120 kW in motoring or generating power
eg the DC power used to motor is limited to 126.3 kW
(with efficiency over 95% the motoring is correspondingly over 120 kW - under 95% the motoring is below 120 kW)
similarly generating power can be over 120kW (or under 120 kW)
at 2026 ICE and MGU-K powers the benefits of MG and CU efficiency would be relatively about 5 times greater
generation (and corresponding motoring) will be critical
(Honda has in recent years shown increased recovery generation - extending to lower powers)
