>>8523632I'll post along, so I think by identical he means the articulation setup, which is essentially a point to kick up, a point to go out, and a point to swivel. The range of those parts are what will differ most. But in terms of points of articulation they're just about the same.
>>8523634Tbf to that fellow in his later post here
>>8523323 he acknowledges that there's no true butterfly joint, which is accurate. Technically one less point of articulation for the McFarlane here, as the SHF has both the peg into the torso and the butterfly.
>>8523635This will be case by case, but this is the range again. Point for point, ball peg at the waist, and ball peg in the torso.
So in terms of range of motion, it is the case that a lot of these may be lacking, but in pure points of articulation and joint setup, it's fairly close.
