Ok everybody, a real smh moment here. While I was taking a picture of the two beers to post, I realized that the gelatin fined beer is, in fact, clearer now. I guess it was just a time thing. Took a total of 3 days, and I would not be surprised if it continued to clear a bit more. Never got any sludge, but I suppose the goo has just caked around the dip tube and is holding steady. Thanks for all your help and insight even if it just came down to impatience!
Awesome. This thread just shows there are several ways to use gelatin. Enjoy !

EDIT: correction, took 4 days to show a difference, not 3
When I gel fine my beers I close transfer cold beer on top of the gelatin in the keg, then give it a healthy shake after purging to be sure it is mixed in evenly. Pop the keg in the serving fridge with the gas on and pour my first glass 4-5 days later usually to a perfectly clear and carbonated beer. YMMV
