Consistently 'wavy' walls

Hello! I am having issues with the walls on my prints having very slight waves in them. Attached are 2 pictures and a video of the XYZ calibration cube printed at 0.20mm layer height using standard profiles for PETG for the Mini+. The cube on the left is printed with my older Mini+ running the latest firmware, the cube on the right is printed with my new Mini+ (also on latest firmware). The only physical difference is that I replaced the nozzle and hotend PTFE tube on my old printer with an E3D V6 0.4. Both prints were done back-to-back using the exact same spool so any issues that could occur from moisture in the filament should be eliminated (along with filament inconsistency or quality).

Any suggestions on what I can do to improve the quality of my new printer so it matches my old one?

For context, this is the only noticeable difference between prints across both printers. I believe that this is what is causing more visible waves that appear on another model of mine that seem to correspond to the areas of retraction on that model (once again it prints fine on my older printer). In that part, the waves are worse if the filament has absorbed moisture and even appear with my older printer, but once the filament is dry, my old printer prints the part flawlessly, and my new printer still has issues.
