Thank xav. Yes 6mm total, each pedal spindle is 3mm longer.
When I first got on it, I just had the sensation my legs were wider that before. Without even measuring.
I'll swap pedals around tomorrow and see how it is with the shorter spindle. As far as I can see, both cranks (different brand) are the same Q-factor. Ultegra 6800 and Rotor 3d plus.

6mm total? It could be yes, worth isolating if you can. Especially if you're a rider that would find a 6mm adjustment elsewhere (eg. saddle setback/height) an immediate issue, you could find Q Factor to be similar.
One of the things we were trying to do with our research was to help people think about the bike in 3 dimensions, rather than just adjustments side on/2D/whatever. At one point we were going to rig up strain gauges all over handlebars and TT bars to find out stresses etc. with wide and narrow bars too.
