How does the Air 3s handle wind compared to the Air 2?

According to DJI, the Air 2 takeoff weight is 570g (1.25lbs), with wind resistance of 18-24mph. The Air 3S takeoff weight is 720g (1.6lbs), with wind resistance of 27mph.

Even though the weight difference isn't much, I'd think the Air 3S would do way better in windy conditions than the Air 2. I've only had my 3S since March, and haven't had a chance to take it out on a windy day yet.

These two drones are similar sizes. Can the Air 3s perform better in windy conditions?
The only thing that matters when dealing with wind is how fast can the drone fly in still air.
The faster the drone can push through the air, the better it can deal with wind.
Air 2 Max speed = 19 metres/sec
Air 3S Max speed = 21 metres/sec.

The Air 3S has an extra 4.5 mph over the Air 2
