Any advantage in finishing a scenario early?

Doing campaign mode.
Is there any advantage in finishing each scenario early rather than holding out for last turn to get maximum prestige from each turn?

We talked about this a while back:

http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 64&t=78655
The answer seems to be "No" because of this Resource Points Formula:
Opening RP's for this scenario + (RP's per turn x number of turns) - RP's used during scenario + RP's earned or given during scenario + Opening RP's for next scenario = Total RP's to begin next scenario
This part of the formula is the same whether you win early or play the scenario out to the end and still win: (RP's per turn x number of turns)

I'd swear that I am getting the RP's that I would have gotten if I had played out the turns. I tested this a while back, and everything came out the same.

You get slightly more by waiting it out.

long ago with OOB, I made the decision to give myself more RP for finishing early. an extra 3% total rp for each day I finish a map earlier than the max. so if I normally would start the next map with say 500rp, but I finished the previous map 10 days earlier than the max, then I start that map with 650rp. Seemed to work out well.
