Thanks heaps for the info Jay, pitty we'll never actually get the chance to properly compare them side by side in a standard store.

2. Note the arrow. There was quite a variance in the level of burrs I saw, so look for a small one.

The above specimen is close to the best I've seen in both regards, although the picture might not communicate that. When in a shop comparing two, the differences should be obvious.
