Below two puzzles share the same difficulty while the second one is significantly harder than the first one. Does it make sense to reflect mate length as a factor in the difficulty calculation if puzzle type = mate?

Yes, let's collect patterns about the difficulty evaluation here and then after some time we can see if we can come up with a better definition.
