Agreeable Gray (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Lake (LRV 53), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Agreeable Gray runs warm while Silver Lake is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
