Suburi can help one aspect of your kendo, but kendo is about fencing another person, and there's not much solo training can do to help that.

The main deciding factor is the time spent in the men, and solo training is definitely not a replacement for that, merely a supplement. If you had a hit dummy and were using that, it would be a bit more helpful, but I'm not surprised at the difference between the two of you after such a time span.

Have you thought of starting a club? Maybe getting your old sensei to come out every few months or so to keep you on the right track?
