  • A shared threadAmber, fresh spicy and warm spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Mortel in fall and winter and Upper East in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mortel is moderate on both, Upper East moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
