I think it would be interesting to test both lenses side by side at f/4.0 & 35, 50 and 70mm.

At 24mm the RF could be better, and the 105 will be on par with the 70 of the EF. But round 50mm there's a dip in the zoom range of the f/4.0 L.

Optical Limits graphs the bars

Unfortunately the tests of both lenses from Optical Limits aren't very easy to compare. I agree with you Optical Limits is more positive than DXO-mark about the RF f/4.0 L.

hey, I'm positive about the RF L lens - that is something more valuable than graphs

I agree!   It's just annoying we can't borrow each others lenses to get experience with the other lens too.

There are also no experienced reviewers directly comparing these lenses.  That's where the graphs and bars come in....

lenses are not about dxo and graphs.

It's not telling the whole story. It's also not completely useless.

What is vastly more important than graphs and dxo, is user experiences

lenses are about getting the shot

I love 50mm (equivalence)
