Now that the q-jay foamies have finally been released, has anyone compared the sound isolation to the SE420/530?

I finally remembered to ask after a plane flight this weekend when I really could have used them instead of regular earplugs

I have se110, which I assume have very similar isolation (considering they use the same tips).

They're pretty close, but I think shure tips isolate a little tiny bit more than the q-jays, but the isolation with q-jays is very very good.
If I wasn't trying to figure out which one isolated more I never would've noticed it.

Thanks, uberstuber. Sounds like what people thought the result would be before the foamies were released...the Shures isolate better...
