Where these two actually differ
- We flag Coating degradation and metal substrate exposure, Aluminum substrate leaching (if aluminum core) and Thermal shock and coating fracturing on the Caraway and not on the Lloyds.

- The gap is 35 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Caraway is the one to buy.
