If there was a gosanke in the same size, with good confirmation, quality, luster.. Neither one of the shiro's would beat it. I do know that SH shiro won GC at a Florida show (last year I think), but the competition was not there.

Henry's shiro is outstanding, confirmation, shiroji, sumi, luster youthfulness ( by pics).

SH confirmation not as good, shiroji looks good, sumi nice, missing that youthful appearance. ( by Pics).

I would love to see them both swimming tank to tank. But since SH will never show his fish again (per him), none of us will ever see that day.
