It is too small for me to measure, so far. Fairy-Max is also not a good system for this, as it does not have pair bonuses in its evaluation, and erases the imbalance by trading one Ferz of the pair long before a weak piece like the Ferz can affect the game very much. I really would need a more sophisticated engine for this, that protects the pair it thinks is worth most, so the imbalance lives long enough to manifest itself clearly in the winning probability.
