Yes, I definitely see the difference. Even though it is my first grow still topped. However, I haven't super cropped or lollipopped or anything like that. I have heard differing theories of the merits or lack thereof of lollipopping. This first time around I'm just gonna leave all the leaves and stems... but next time I'll probably lollipop one of four to see if the theory behind lollipopping holds up. I noticed on Imgur that you had just recently posted those pics (unless I'm mistaken). That is bagseed? I would love to know how that turns out. I almost started from bagseed, then changed my mind and did a quick order from Nirvana.
