Seal Team (Taiwan) vs. Seal 2000 (Japan)

This is a question for anyone that has both of these blades. How do they compare, which do you prefer, and why? Thanks in advance.

IMO you cannot cut the difference, meaning that if you removed all the markings and they looked identical, I doubt you could tell the difference in use.
SOG would have gained a great deal of user feedback from the Seal 2000 and the fact that the newer Seals are AUS8, the pups are thicker, etc, means to me that the Taiwan units are probably marginally better in cutting, edge retention and toughness.

The design is completely different, how is it, that you shouldn' t be able to tell the difference?
I do have the Seal 2000, seki made and the Seal Team (Elite)
I will post a review including some testing soon.
At the moment I couldn't tell which one I like more.
