Agree, it's unlikely they used you as a benchmark, because most companies simply don't believe they need to. Though they should at least test with their own employees.

Also, on multiple occasions I've been told, "don't worry about salary, focus on getting us the right candidate." When I do so: "Oh, we can't afford more than $X." I now try to test the waters with, "Developers with that experience often make north of $150K, is that still in range?"
