It's not a contest.  We are not comparing BMWs to Mercedes.  It's more like
a matter of apples and oranges.  Some days I'm in the mood for Beethoven.
Other days I'm in the mood for Mozart.  And yet other days I'm in the mood
for some Beethoven and some Mozart.  (And if I bought fewer CDs I might
have both a BMW and a Mercedes in my garage (and not our Honda and Toyota.)
