I tried the 24 hour steep everyone swears by and honestly my 14 hour batch tasted better

I brewed the same coarse grind twice side by side, one for 24 hours and one for 14, and the long one came out flat and kind of woody while the shorter batch kept more of the fruit notes. I know the long steep is the go-to advice, but I think grind size matters way more than the clock, and mine is already pretty fine. What ratios and times are you all actually using for a lighter roast?
