The chart you refer to shows that the .416 cartridges have less recoil velocity across the board than the .458 cartridges. In my opinion, recoil velocity, rather than recoil energy, is the deciding factor as far as comfort is concerned. Having said that, there is precious little difference, and stock fit, or lack thereof, can reduce or magnify the difference.
I must agree. The Stock and Recoil Velocity Are what makes recoil. Both of my 416 and 458 Stocks fit fairly well But I have shot some other rifles where the stock did not fit as well and there was more recoil then expected.

Re: Recoil on 416 vs 458 win which is worse?
