From Fig. 1 of this reference we find that (for zero disorder) (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) in units where (Formula presented). This difference points to the importance of fluctuations beyond mean field theory (MFT), which would have given (Formula presented) at (Formula presented). The finite (Formula presented) by itself cannot account for this difference within MFT since the BCS gap (Formula presented).
