Nothing here is called best. On the brand pairs each side is its brand's cheapest model carrying a verified price at that capacity, so neither is a flattering pick. On the model pairs the rule that formed the pair is printed on the pair's own page. The difference column is arithmetic rather than a recommendation.

Prices and specifications verified September 9, 2026, and re-checked weekly after that. 58 head to head pages: 18 brand pairs across 3 values of capacity (a value gets pages when at least four brands publish a priced model at it, which is why some in the catalog have none), and 40 model pairs, each formed by a rule printed on its page and each with a verified price on both sides. How these numbers are checked.
