Is the shock damping in "Enduro/Soft" more compliant than "Road/Soft"?

Yesterday my GSA was in "Road/Soft" and while riding on a small, bumpy, broken pavement/gravel road I was just pondering how the suspension seems more abrupt than it should be but according to my dealer just "normal and the way it is". After a brief stop I started back up but just for the heck of it before going I changed to "Enduro". To be honest I only have used this setting a few times. Immediately apparent was the slower throttle response but also the bike seemed to ride noticeably softer than it previously was.
In this example after switching from "Road/Soft" to "Enduro" should the only difference have been the throttle (and ABS)?
 
Enduro damping is indeed softer and more compliant than road mode settings.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. Do you know if they differ yet again in Dynamic mode? Or is it the same for Dynamic and Road?

in Enduro mode you only have two choices of setting soft or hard. on some bad country roads I sometimes use enduro mode and set it to hard this seems ok for me. enduro pro gives you dynamic throttle but less ABS and traction Control
