So, we've already addressed the tombstoning on these guys by adopting the mfr's (Pana.) recommendations for pad size and spacing. Problem is, we have pretty bad wetting of some of these parts. The rest of the board we use them on looks great, nice

Just had a similar phenomenon 2 days ago. May relate to your issue --- or not. Like you, I did a once over looking for mechanical obstruction & couldn't find any. Ran a thermal profile on the offending PCB & all checked out. Looked in end of oven

This is an interesting dilemma you have been faced with. If both machines are outfitted similarly and running under identical process settings then they should produce nearly the same results, in theory. I do not dispute the observations you are re
