Anandtech has always given us much better and more quantitative information than Ars. Just to give my pet example, Anandtech sets displays to 200 nits for battery tests. Ars sets them to "50%" which is meaningless. According to Anandtech's measurement the 2014 Moto X has the same peak luminance as the old Nexus One that everybody hated, making it the dimmest phone you can buy today. The new Moto X at half brightness would be like an iPhone at minimum brightness.
