A better batch? Trying to roast Indonesian the right way

After a failed attempt at roasting a 1/2 pound of Indonesian Flores in my Behmor 1600, I tried again with 1/4 pound of the same bean, this time extending the roast time by 30 seconds.

The Behmor normally roasts a quarter pound of beans for 8 minutes and thirty seconds. If you select the Time B button, that will extend the roast to 9:30. I manually added 30 seconds to increase the roast time to 10 minutes total, the maximum time the Behmor will roast a 1/4 lb. of beans at the Profile 1 setting.
I need to let the beans rest, but right away I noticed the beans look much different from what I roasted earlier this week. The previous bad batch is more matted and lighter, while the new batch is darker, shinier and seems to have lost more chaff.
