I'm not as up-to-speed (ha!) on GR as I am on SR, but my prediction would be that Peter and Paul would both be the same age at the end of this experiment . . . could be wrong, though.

[-X SeanF, SeanF, you surprise me! And to think that I was just waiting for you to leap to my defence
You're absolutely wrong here. Of that I'm sure. I stand over my figures. Peter (the traveller) will age just 20 years, while Paul will age 3348 years.
Neither of the twins is in an inertial frame of reference. That's correct. But if the GR effects are the same, then the age difference can only be explained by SR.
