Is there any more amaylus/hurivanya (schar) by learning from a hebrew artscroll gemorah, rather than an english one?

By asking this question, and the subsequent answers, its saying if you learn from an english Artscroll, you are not getting as much schar.

Now granted, if you are using it as a tool to be lazy, you are probably NOT getting as much schar as someone toiling over it. But you can toil over the english text (slightly differently) than the aramaic.

We don’t judge how much schar a person gets from learning either way.

I would also gather that the English artscroll editions have helped many, many more people pick up a gemara. Many people don’t have the skills, even after attending yeshiva and this gives them a venue to study gemara.
