Reticulum vs Meshtastic vs Meshcore

So I have purchased 2 Heltec v4 boards, and some LoRa antennas, I flashed Meshtastic and eventually after trying the latest alpha finally got some good range of about 2 miles. For reference I am the only Meshtastic node in over a 100 mile radius. However today I setup Reticulum using and setup 2 RNODES, however I found my range was less than 1/4th what it was with Meshtastic, to my understanding reticulum will eventually try to fallback to opportunistic mode to send the messages, but I couldn't get anything past the street I was on. Is that normal to see such decreased range in Reticulum? How have your expirences with the Heltec v4 as RNODE's been? I also tried to setup 1 node as an RTNODE to try to backhaul a TCP connection over LoRa, with the goal of setting up 1 node at my office, the other at my house 1.6 miiles away. I have gotten Meshtastic messages to send reliably between my office to my house.
