If you are benchmarking the two policies for a comparable carbon price, total emissions would be higher under my system, and so the total value of emissions rights which are nominally granted to firms would be higher, likely by a factor of 1.5 - 2 based on work I just read by Rivers and Jaccard, although I don't have specific modeling numbers.

However, a counter argument can be made that a regime is just if total emissions from the area within the jurisdiction of the government are below the government's fair share of safe global emission regardless of whether some emitters are not covered by the government's ghg allocation because governments have the right to make decisions distributing the burdens and benefits of government policies within their jurisdiction.
