Yes, but if you use older machines that have had their system software and apps used as well as their harddrive(s) filled over a period of several months, you won't get the same performance. You should use a minimal system installation on both Macs with only the apps to be tested installed and the same demo files. It's a sad truth that your Mac's going to feel slower over time for various reasons.
