I just added another Amex to my file that has 6 years of backdating, and I saw a decrease from the INQ, and nothing for AAoA bump.

Starting Score: TU:650 - EQ: 672
Current Score: TU: 706 - EQ: 680 - EX: 699
Goal Score: 700

The score bump from backdating depends on where AAoA is before and after. I bumped 1 point when first card posted, bumping AAoA from 7y 1 mos to 7y 10 mos. however, 2nd Amex sent AAoA over 8 years and I got 13 points.
