I think you just unwittingly proved Jeremy's point. :-)

I can believe there is a difference, but I've tasted the difference.

Same thing with steak; I've had some downright cheap steaks in 
restaurants and bought better quality cuts myself and cooked them.  With 
a restaurant, one way of telling if they get a good quality cut is if 
they'll cook it rare.  A good quality steak is best served (IMHO) rare; 
if you are going to turn it into a charcoal briquette, you don't need 
quality because you're going to cook all the flavour out of it anyways.

That extra water?  Ice from when it's frozen, most likely.
