I'll be using the pressure tester on the quattro, just to get an idea of
how that is.  Maybe I'll finish up the Coupe (retension the timing belt,
put the cover back on the front, retime the ignition) and do another
comp test on hit, real careful-like.  Maybe.

Make sure you are using the compression tester correctly; my understanding is
that you want to remove all four plugs, make sure you have a fully charged
battery (or use a jumper from another car...).  IME, my cars have typically
been within about 3-4 psi across the board, so your numbers don't look so
great to me.  Try adding a little oil to each cylinder in turn to see if that
has a dramatic change... could have scored piston walls?...
