Please show what geometry was scoped to in the 100 mm displacement.  If you scoped an end face of the slides, that creates a support that is not present in the simulation with the slides positioned at 100 mm without any displacement support, so I would expect to see a significant difference in results.  The repositioning method is closer to the correct boundary conditions for this problem.
