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