Row-by-row "winner" is decided on the raw number. Cheaper wins on price, higher wins on flow rate, temp, and build volume. A tie or missing data means no highlight. Firmware quality, after-sales support, and reliability aren't in the comparison - they matter a lot and they're hard to quantify, so read the detail pages too.
