Paul,
I added those engines. They do show higher HP/Wt numbers as I would expect,
although without any reliability data. But Moller's claimed number is off the
chart. This type of nomogram is technically called a bullshit meter.

The Midwest and the turboprop engines have PSRU's the Moller does not
need one because it is a ducted fan engine. That helps the power to
weight
ratio.
