I really am amazed by P/C, BUT when the 2 teams skate next to each other the comparison is very obviously shows V/M superiority in most areas.
On the top of it I would NEVER forget that V/M literally saved and transformed Ice Dance in the era, when Domnina/Shabalin, Belbin/Agosto, Khohlova/Novitski was in power and bored the crowd ( I didn't mention Delobel Schoenfelder because they never been boring but lacked the technical side). PLUS most of us remember them how unfairly they have been treated by judges (when they lost the FD with Carmen in the preOlympic year) and by their coaches (giving them THAT material for 2014. when they even could win with that, but D/W was good enough to live up to their "offered" chance).
The strange part of it that I seriously think that P/C is much better than D/W ever been, but I also think that D/W could beat V/M only once , in 2012. World with their wonderful Fledermaus program contra V/M less good Funny Face program (strangely that was the last competition when V/M beat them. It telles a lot about politicking in that era....)
