quite simple, 7.6/7.6 is better than 7.6/7.3

Then why does the second one (with the lower EP but higher ED) give a higher bonus score? Is that discrepancy between puzzle ranking and weighting intentional?

And 7.6/7.3/3.4 has a better bonus than 11.0/1.2/1.2 ....

The bonus rule is just something else (and the rarity bonus as well, a volatile bonus kept for half of the value if you are trumped)
The bonus rule is the main incentive to play high diamonds first in the game strategy (no risk to be trumped and high bonus)

::: comment :::
I've played a diamond 9.4
- that gives me high score at the beginning of the game
- that cannot be trumped ... so these points cannot be lost

And this was the highest diamond I had at that time
