Sounds like EV has become as volatile a subject as political leanings!
Well, so be it:

I personally prefer the "Sec(uh,right!)3000" threadhead :-)

I personally prefer FW's Image product to every EV product, and I can't
think of a better way to describe the inherent dis/qualities in each as
evidence of "instinct".

Not being able to define that, tThe tangible difference I've always seen is
that EV always knows he's right, while FW keeps on wondering.  Easy choice
for me.
