But wouldn't this be done in comparison of your last list of offerings? 
I just find that this always leads to a competition that is detrimental 
to both groups. This is why you don't see much of it in advertising. 
Yes, you do see some, but by and large, products tend to stay away from 
it because your consumers then get used to comparing your brand to 
others. Keep the focus on the LibO brand, in my mind, is better.

BTW ... I would still not have a problem helping out either way. It's 
just my point of view.
