To compare LR @ 3.7V versus SR @ higher voltages, you use Ohm's Law 
Ohm's Law states that:
Volts = Current x Resistance -or- V=IR
Watts = Volts x Current -or- P=VI
Watts equates to the amount of 'heat' produced.
Before breaking out your calculator; there are a number of Ohm's Law Calculators on the internet - here's one Calculations voltage current resistance and electric power formula calculator general electrical pie chart - electricity calculation - electrical power formula general ohms law physics electricity electronics formula wheel formulas amps watts volts o
So if you have an atty/carto at 1.7 ohm (common LR), at 3.7V you would have around 8 watts.
For a SR atty/carto, say 2.5 ohm, to get 8 watts you would have to have 4.5V.
The vape from these setups would be fairly equal.

It's very similar because if the power is the same, it has to be.
However there are some subjective differences that don't come out in the figures. For example, if you take an 801 atty and get 10 watts out of it, and a 510 LR @ 10W, and a 510 SR @ 10W, you will certainly find a difference between the 801 and the others. It is magnified or reduced according to the liquid used.
There is a theory that if you take something big and put xx watts through it, and something small and put the same power through it, then the big job produces a better result - maybe a 'more solid vape' or whatever you want to call it. It might be marginal or non-existent depending on other factors though.
