Opitrix vs. Walker Audio Vivid?

Can anyone tell me how these two CD cleaners / treatments "sound" on an absolute basis and relative to one another?

I find it simpler to use than Auric Illuminator (fewer steps) and provides a much easier to discern improvement over Auric. I thought the Auric was a worthwhile improvement, but Walker Vivid beats it in sound and application. Vivid is not as thick as Microsmooth and I have not noticed any negative effect on the discs it has been applied to. I have no concerns about using Vivid.
