Right. The point of this discussion is to expose these pros and cons
so people can intelligently choose an MTA.

No. That discussion is frivolous. The choice of MTA is important to
list server administrators. Yes, there's some "my car is faster"
here--but that's important to serious Majordomo admins. Where it
really matters, though, is when it's more like "my car has four wheel
drive and can carry six passengers". Those are fundamental
capabilities that many cars don't have.
