The difference was not that great. Brit carriers didn't carry aircraft on deck until the end of the war, at that time they could carry about 75-80% of what a US fleet carrier could carry.
Plus the Spit/SeaSpit could whoop the Zeros @$$.
The Firefly was also a great multipurpose carrier fighter. A/A, A/G, Recon, ASW.
