- Opposite seasonsVoters put Or de Calambac in winter and fall and Desobeissant in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Or de Calambac is long lasting and moderate, Desobeissant moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
