Yup, you've got it! Really cool to get them both in the same shot.

You got it! The lack of streaked flanks are a good mark for the Purple, in contrast to their presence on the House.

Great comparison shot!

EDIT: As usual, a few others beat me to it :)

EGG ON MY FACE!!

Sincere apologizes, this is NOT my picture. I must have pulled it from the web for ID use. Humble pie is better warm than cold. I'll back away from the bar now. It is a good shot though, eh? :(
