I used to spend a LOT of time trying to understand all those differences and work towards a more perfect figure. But ultimately I decided that figures aren't best used to separate closely matched contenders. There are too many subtle subjective, philosophical, technical, and trip related issues that impact them for them to be reliable. IMO, their best use is to quickly identify contenders that you can then separate by digging deeper into those back races, making projections about today's race, and most importantly deciding if you are getting a good price.
