The variance is exactly the same, you either lose one buyin, gain one buyin, gain three buyins or gain 5 buyins.

Swings are significantly less at the regs. I don't have numbers to back this up since I don't have the PC I used to play the speeds on anymore, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

Swings are not variance. Irieguy would have a field day.

Variance is an action of ROI, where the higher the ROI is the lower the variance will be.

Work your question through logically with this information.

Variance is a mathematical term and has nothing (well okay, not quite nothing, but very little) to do with ROI.
