Is the stem rise on the bike being compared going to put the rider in the same position for the bikes being compared or will changes be needed. How about saddle differences and preferences?

There are lots of potential variables to get a meaningful comparison and it certainly isn't difficult to google the weight of a particular pedal and compensate so why just pedals???
