Several Command Fests and Origins later, we decided it was time to bring our knowledge and experience to a compare and contrast style episode. Not every vendor has the luxury to vend one or both of these, once or multiple times so while this discussion and comparison isn't all encompasing, we only have so much time, it's a great springboard for those looking to go.
