250 size quad and ecalc predictions (way off)

Hi,
I built a 250 size quad, and ecalc says I should hover around 6.2A, and in the real world I hover at 12.2. 

I've got a 650 size quad w/ 15" props, and it actually does slightly better than the ecalc predictions, so I was hoping the 250 would equal ecalc as well.  (It hovers at 16 amps, which isn't much more than the 250 quad, and the 650 weighs 2700grams!)

So, I'm wondering if ecalc is just off on smaller frames, or maybe I got lucky w/ the 650 matching so closely.
OR, is something wrong w/ my 250 motors or other components?. 

I'm using lumenier 2206-13 (2000kv) motors, and 6x3 props. 12A nfet esc's.
Total weight is 530 grams, w/ 2200mAh bat and FPV and all.

Thanks for any help.
