What are the most significant diffrences between Freitas ALC, Timo Boll ALC, Garaydia ALC and Innerforce ALC?

I can speak for Freitas and Boll versions. The outer ply. Freitas limbs outer feels woodier on contact and the blade has some flex. Boll ALC koto feels soft, but doesn't flex much.
For me, Boll was easier to control in a loop to loop rally. Boll also was better to block with.
Freitas seemed to spin and push a little better.
As of composition: Freitas and Boll are the same except the outer layer. Boll is harder Koto and Freitas softer Limba...
For hardness: Boll > Freitas > Innerforce (Layer ALC). (speed in other direction).

I'm pretty sure the Freitas and the Boll ALC have different core plies as well (Freitas = Ayous, Boll ALC = Kiri).
Speedwise I'm also not sure if an Innerforce ALC is faster than a Freitas or a Boll; a HL5/W968 maybe, but a Butterfly Innerforce ALC?
