Im the same Cstar, my outdoor wattage is around that as well. Which means when I ride outside my TSS for the ride looks massive... I just have to accept it for what it is. There are a few articles on the net about it, none of them help though
You are right effort is effort, so an RPE of 9 is an RPE of 9. Thing is if your FTP is different inside and out, which mine definitely is, then if you train with power you get quite a discrepancy in TSS.
I guess you are one of the lucky ones that doesn't have that discrepancy?
