Is Passive More Valuable Than Active Obedience?

[KMK]

Is there any nuance of Reformed theology that believes Christ's passive obedience merited more than his active obedience? At first blush it seems possible because, for one thing, suffering for the sins of the world seems to have been more difficult. It caused Jesus to sweat blood and ask that the cup be removed from him. He never had the same reaction to actively obeying the law.

If I recall, three Westminster divines, of those two names I know (Twisse and Vines) went down that road and rejected the active obedience.
As for not having the same reaction, what of the temptation narratives? Our starving Savior tempted to make stones into loaves.

Gataker was the third.
