LR44 battery question

Hello, guys! I'm not sure how silver oxide 357 size button cell batteries compare to LR44 button cell alkalines in terms of run duration. (For example, in a Pelican L1). Is there a difference in time between silver oxide and alkaline? When I replaced the LR44s in my L1 with 357s, I saw a substantial boost in brightness...but at $2.00 per 357 against 50 cents for the LR44s, an increase in run-time would be good, too!
 

LR44 about 100 Ma.
357 about 155 mA.

So the 357 will hold out a bit longer 50% more capacity.

You decide if that is worth thee price difference.
