Segment
i Detail
iKey rows only: price, SKU, form factor, interfaces, and headline throughput. Rows
iRows where the compared models differ get an amber bar on the left so they stand out. "Differences only" hides rows where every selected model has the same value. Direction (who is ahead) stays in the field read, since throughput is measured differently per vendor.

Which competitor are you up against? iPick the competitor model. Firewall Fighter loads the best-fit SRX side by side (price-aligned and deployment-aligned), with a collapsible field read at the bottom for where SRX wins, parity, and watch-outs.

Range
Scale
iIndexed (start = 100) rebases each selected model to 100 at the left edge of the window, so you compare percentage trends, not dollars. A value of 110 means 10 percent above that model's window-start price; 95 means 5 percent below. It lets a cheap box and an expensive box be compared on the same trend scale. Use Absolute $ to read actual list prices and dollar gaps.
