You need to double up on the stock figure (or half that for the other calipers) to get a comparable figure - piston area may be 150%/etc more than stock but the way the caliper actuates is also different on the single piston sliding caliper. Effectively needs to push a piston twice as far to have the same result as it's only moving from one side.
Terrible description as I'm about to head into a client meeting at work, but in essence a single piston caliper needs to move "each" (there's only one) piston 2mm to bring both pads 1mm in, where as an opposing piston caliper only needs to move each piston 1mm.
Net result brings you right back to where you started in the original post, really.
