All the HMD in a given category range are
indeed similar in the components they use
but in no way comparable in their performances.
By example, the FOV varies much from one to
the other. This has a huge impact on the angular
resolution(which is the resolution you really feel
when immersed with a HMD).

Please read my HMD analysis that is online at
our VResources web site(see link bellow).

Good luck.
