So the Pocket 4K fares 11.6 stops @iso400 by Cinema 5D's strict methodology, almost half a stop more than the old Pocket. That's pretty awesome.

Where did this come from?  They tested the original Pocket tested at around 12.5, which was consistent with other third party results, and the P4K hasn't been tested at all.  Or has it?

I don't know why, but shots from the og pocket looks better vs some of the P4K stuff online and other current cameras

That's because there's a whole lot more of it. More people have (or had) it than the new one, and they've been using it for quite a few years longer.

That looks excellent.

I thought I'd quote the post again right under to make people scroll through 6 huge images instead of 2.

OT Pocket has 12,5 ,  it's about 1 stop more ?

Watch the video.  They rate the original BMPCC at 11.2 and the BMPCC 4K at 11.6.  They appear to be using the lower more conservative set of values (SNR=.5) in the chart reproduced above.

In any event, they state plainly that by their measurements, the P4K has more dynamic range.  This is consistent with what most shooters, including this one, have discovered.

I agree! Here are those pictures AGAIN! Maybe we can reach page 400 sooner than we think!

DR advantages are only useful if you can expose the footage accurately enough to exploit it and exp controls on the P4k are pretty basic (Even the GH5 has a waveform). I'd like to see an RGB parade display on the P4k.....

I agree that it would be nice to have additional tools but I have to say that I think that with Pocket 4K having false colour available (especially on a hardware switch) it will get a lot of people, myself included, closer to where they want the exposure to be a lot quicker.

The very quick contextual overview it gives you works better - for me at least - than a waveform so I'm going to say that from a purely selfish point of view, BM chose the right option for the initial release ;)
