FCP "Color" vs "Color Finesse"

Has anyone here compared FCP Color and Color Finesse? I understand they have the same pedigree, but that "Color" is older than "Color Finesse." So I'm wondering if this means that it is not as robust, or just that Apple built a new and improved color editor using "Final Touch" rather than building on the current retail pluggin?

Color Finesse is nice, but I wouldn't take it over Color/Final Touch. Of course the version of CF I used was the first one that didn't have scrubbing and could only run as a plug-in, not the standalone version you can get in CF2. Performance wise, I didn't get realtime playback without rendering from Color Finesse but I do with Color (on SD material). Plus Color Finesse doesn't have built-in motion tracking.
