John,

We have ever conducted lots of simulation and
measurement for the 
similiar PDS structure as you described. In our
experiences, SpeedXP 
can got quite accurate results with VNA measurement.
Especially, the 
prediction of resonance frequency of PDS plane pair.
The results of 
SpeedXP were slightly greater than measured as well
may come from the 
fringing effect in the edge of plane. I don't have
sufficient 
information to understand your case and simulation
setting. However, 
in my opinion, I don't think that the overlap between
VCCP and VCC3_3 
is a good design.

Best regards,
