The guy who has sustained organ function is almost certainly going to have a smoother transition because he has maintained the natural function and output of the organ responsible for intraicular testosterone the entire time versus the other guy has literally deprived the tissue so significantly that it's a fraction of the size.
So trying to compare a guy recovering with testes half the size or less compared to a guy who has fully functioning testes that have been maintained, that guy just needs to discontinue and get rid of that feedback inhibition and he's likely going to return to natural function within short order pending his ginadotrop and output from the pituitary is satisfactory.
