I understand that the answers I asked for will be subjective - it's why I asked. Objective comparisons can be looked up.
Dear David,

Fair enough. But how are you going to quantify or even describe this? "The tonality is different. I prefer this one." The test is meaningful in the sense that it might help you personally decide which you prefer, but it will help no-one else decide.

What I'm really questioning is the methodology: the usefulness of a head-to-head test, as compared with shooting real pictures with one, and the other, turn and turn about, and doing a rough statistical analysis of which gives you more pictures that you like.

Cheers,

Roger
