Which makes my original reasoning correct; a benchmark monster at lvl 30 should beat a benchmark PC at level 30 in an opposed skill check every time. The only thing that can save the PC is if the benchmark is not applied.
However, if the benchmark is not in use, it might be another story entirely. I am starting to think it isn't.
