I think these kind of common task challenges are great for comparison. You see a few approaches to a single task and you can do a more aligned and detailed comparison.

Unfortunately, it’s also a lot of work. In this case, you’ve posted an intermediate stage artifact from R. If one of the many Python programmers reading this want to produce a comparable artifact they need to understand or run that code. That alone reduces your likelihood of getting any substantial replies.

Maybe add a link to an image of the resulting plot?
