This appears to be different with Hanvon and especially Ectaco, but who knows.
Hmm... perhaps size is not always a good predictor of performance.

Sometimes the smaller leaner company can respond faster than a larger one.
There are benefits to having the resources of a larger firm, as well. If I
could predict how well a company is able to meet the needs of the market,
and was willing to invest, I might be a wealthy man.

There may be stock market research on those companies that could provide
you some of that information.

Luck;
Ken
