Although they appeared to be equally ripe to me (same color), maybe a different level of ripeness caused the difference. My conclusion is that I could draw no definitive conclusions
Thanks so much for your feedback and I hope that others will also report on what they found.

I thought it was interesting that you said they looked identical, b'c it's darn hard to attribute a specific taste when comparing two varieties such as these two, and I know you recognized that as well which you summed up by saying that you had no definitive conclusions.

As I recall Adam had said that they looked identical to him as well.
