Smart Mask in VP21 vs Resolve Magic mask?

Has anyone determined if VP21's Smart Mask is as good as Resolve's Magic Mask? I note that Primatte is included with VP21, indicating to me that Green Screen is still the gold standard when it comes to replacing the background or masking an object in VP21.

There's also Mocha in VEGAS and Z-depth. It depends on what you are trying to do.

Smart mask recognizes common objects so if your subject is not one it won't do anything.

Neither Smart Mask or Magic Mask are as good as green screen, and likely never will be without manual intervention to fix errors.

Here's a short comparison. Operationally Resolve uses GPU, Vegas CPU, so Resolve is much faster

I turned the tint up to full on the background so any tint on the runner or non tint on the background is an accuracy problem
