I love the xtra features of xbot! That's part of what made me go that route at the end of the day. I like the interface better. I like the charts and analysis. I like the daily check in rewards which I can use to rent sps.

And yeah, the "bots perform differently with different accounts" was basically the impetus for doing this at all, since all I can publicly obviously see is how they perform for the leaderboard. If my account ever gets a solid enough deck to fight for leaderboard spots, I'll have to rerun the experiment, where I imagine XBOT will come up nicely ahead.

As a final thought, I am a bit pleased with myself that this experiment and the write-up yielded well-thought-out responses from the folks on both bots. I'm pretty sure like 3 people read my articles on Hive, so it's nice to have some legit engagement. So thanks :)
