And you can only compare them one weight/fabric at a time, or it is like comparing red apples to green apples.

I would say paulhenry's response was basically about 16oz wool, what most of us consider "standard kilting fabric".

Marton Mills is alone in making quality P/V as far as I know.

Dalgeish has the best kilting selvedge.

Lochcarron Strome has the highest recognition factor (totally subjective - see Riverkilts signature line)
