Relationship between mixing parameter and total energy

Dear VASPers,I want to compare the total energies between the supercells with and without defects.For some reasons,I set different mixing parameters such as Amix etc.to make the energy converge.What I want to know is that in this case whether it is reasonable to compare the energy.
PS:I didn't change other parameters.
Many thanks!

If both calculations are well converged with respect to forces and total energies I do not see why you should not compare those two.
