90s Breezer Lighting MTBs?

Being TIG welded in Japan and made from Tange Prestige tubing are these comparable to Bridgestone MB Zips of the same period just with lesser notoriety (to some)?

Also with these differences in geometry how would this translate into the ride feel?

Those are some pretty serious differences in geometry.

That geometry chart for the Breezer is not accurate. Those are the numbers for a modern Breezer, not a '93 model.

I would definitely rather have the Breezer. The paint job alone is nearly enough reason, the Lightnings are iconic, IMO. To answer the question of ride feel between the two models, I honestly think you'd have to have both bikes on hand, in the size that fits you, and do a real world comparison (and that would be quite a rare accomplishment at this point).
