My stand mixer vs hand kneading, the bread told the truth

I spent 3 hours hand kneading a sourdough loaf last Sunday in Portland, then did the same recipe with my stand mixer on Tuesday, and the mixer loaf had a much better crumb with half the effort. The hand-kneaded one was denser and I think I overworked it trying to hit that windowpane test, honestly. Has anyone else noticed their mixer bread tastes different, or is it just my lazy technique showing?
