Berra really needs to reign in his movement. Composure seems to be an issue as well. But hey, first NHL season and all.
Ramo looks better because he is technically better due to his previous stint and the fact he's played at a higher level of hockey than Berra for a longer period of time. The thing for me is though is that it's only made Ramo marginally better than Berra at this point. I feel that giving up so early on Berra would be a mistake but his leash certainly needs to be short. I've convinced myself Berra should get another one year deal to prove he really belongs. After next season though, all bets are off as Gillies and Ortio will be knocking on the door pretty hard.

Problem for Berra is that his contract is up at the end of the season and Ramo's isn't. I believe Burke and the incoming GM will want to upgrade the position which means the Berra is possibly a candidate not to be retained unless they can work out a trade for Ramo.
