You won't see that in EQ magazine!

The curves are mostly not the same, regardless of markings, and other colorations (distortions) come into play as well. This is why we like one better than another, but as DC has observed often, to create the same EQ curve requires the same phase shift.
Often the EQs we like best are the ones that do what we expect them to when we turn the knobs. The designer has to create curves and behavior that we like. Two EQs may technically be just as high quality, but one we may feel sounds sweet, and one not so sweet, based on things not related to high quality components, good power supplies, and low distortion.
