I see some parallels between their list and mine, but there's plenty of surprises too. Some of their player comparisons are spot on, and others make me shake my head, lol.

Thanks for this. I usually get the thin preview but we are less than 2 weeks out and it’s still not out in print version.
Interested to know which comparisons that you and Dis (and others in the know) find most egregious. Not expecting you to give your best case scenarios but highlight the few that you find way off and what your best case scenario would be vs theirs.
