Just how much of an edge to closed 'phones have over open when it comes to bass?  I'm not looking for a hard #, more of a percentage or rough ratio.

Depends entirely on the headphone.

Yeah, not much in it at all these days. Years ago closed phones had a definite edge over open but technology has closed the gap and now there's nothing between them given that both types are good designs. As Tyson said, it's all down to to the headphones themselves, not type.
