I think they filled this one up with a little more landing fuel. They said last time they were a little naive on how much fuel it would burn coming down.

I'm no rocket scientist, but my mind can't get around why you just wouldn't put more fuel in it to begin with. They were testing if they could land the thing, not how efficiently they could do it. I would think you'd lean towards more fuel than less, then do the calculations from there.
Maybe I'm missing something though.

Well I don't see how this could possibly be a bad thing.
