Status: offline 		Agreed, the comparison would be be pretty meaningless. It would be like comparing BiN with SPWaW (and you could say there that SPWaW was "more flexible"). All you can really do say is which you prefer playing, which is likely to depend more on the game scale and scenario matter than anything else.
