Short answer?

Rocky leads on the AI ranking and a lower price; Scala Plus doesn't take any single point outright — pick it only if those don't matter to you.

How this is made

Built from what 2 AI models (Claude · ChatGPT) recommend for real buyer questions, layered with reviewer test summaries, Google buyer ratings, street prices and press. The short answer and verdict are derived from where those signals diverge — not written by hand for either product.
