.40 vs .45 felt recoil

So I see this come up a lot but when I searched couldn't find any topic on it.

Anyways, it seems people can't agree so I figured I'd ask here. In the same platform (weight and everything) would one have more than the other? I've been told that a .40 actually has more recoil than a .45. We heard from a guy at our local gun shop that the lighter round of the .40 doesn't soak up as much energy as the .45, but that seems like an odd explanation to me.

Or maybe because the size of the guns can be smaller in a .40 than a .45 typically?

Or are they close enough that this arguing happens because there isn't a real difference in the kick?
