Thanks for writing in, Carol. The photo with the caption "On the left is the loaf started in a cold oven, and on the right the loaf baked in a preheated pot." should show you the comparison you're looking for. When I used two potato pots, side by side, and put one in a cold oven and used the preheated/hot pot method with the other, the loaves were quite similar. The crust might be just slightly more crispy and golden brown with the hot pot method, but only just. It sounds like the cold oven start method is the perfect approach for your bread baking. Good luck!
