I'm curious by what measure do you compare the two? I don't know if the Invacom is really any better, and I don't really trust any of those dB ratings anyway, however if you're expecting a higher signal strength, then that wouldn't be expected. In fact, when I've gone to a lower dB rated lnb, usually I've seen less signal strength. What the lower dB rating should really do is give you a lower signal reading when you're not aimed at a sat, and give you a higher signal to noise ratio, and hopefully give you a better quality reading. Also, you may expect to see reception on a very few borderline weak signals, but otherwise you really shouldn't expect a whole log of difference.
I replaced one of the generic Sadoun lnbfs with an Invacom too, and likewise didn't see any improvement in signal level, however the Invacom was a lot more stable, frequency wise. I do think in general it's a better lnbf. But it's still a low cost consumer lnbf. Not really a big step up.
