If you installed your dipole for this comparison work, because the dipole is the preferred test in such cases, then consider this model of the dipole by itself. It's a good idea, but I think a regular center fed dipole, well into the clear, is probably what the test has in mind.

Also check the match for both and you will see a match that is just what a dipole should show and with your installation on the side of a mast, you will see those effects caused by the mast.

I hope I made this clear in explaining why I think you saw your dipole besting the Merlin. IMO the model above is the one that should have been used to compare the Merlin to the Dipole, and had we done it that way...we would have seen a different outcome.
