I would put it this way. LR and friends use recipes that may or may not be good for you but you have no say on what it does. In the end, comparison is moot. What you do with your tools is more important. It is like complaining about your height and comparing it with other people. You could do a number of things to make yourself appear taller or shorter (in short of extreme measures) but when you go to the doctor he or she would want to assess your true height.
