Do you need separate filament profiles for multi-color printing than single color?

I'm trying to do more multi-color printing on my five head Prusa XL, and am running into a situation where filament settings that work fine when printing a single color object fail when printing the exact same filament and settings in multi-color.   

The attached image shows two versions of a print.  The first was printed the old-fashioned way for getting multi-col0rs out of single head printer:  each color was printed separately on the XL, and then glued onto the part.

The other piece in the image was printed with 4 colors using the exact same filament and settings, but this time there's lots of stringing and blogs all over.   Clearly the filament settings are fine since printing each color separately shows no stringing or blobs.  

I wanted to try this experiment without input shaping turned on, but the old XL non-input-shaping printer configuration doesn't exist anymore :-(.
