| There is always some bias - what items are in the matrix and

You misunderstand me, I am not referring to the matrices that the respective
software vendors might do ("this is how we compare to the competition!"),
rather one that could be done by an independent(?) publication, or the
community.
And I don't have any, 'cause I don't think there is one that is complete.
There has been matrices in Fred Limp's reviews in GeoWorld/GeoEurope in the
past, but they were not super-complete.
