I think I would have a problem making this statement. I don't disagree that Dagors work well in competent hands. The Commercial Ektar was one design made by one company, and one known for quality control.
The Dagor design was manufactured and modified by several companies over many decades. I think it's hard to compare one to many when comparisons should be one to one.
