OmniORB(py) compared to ICE? (was: ANNOUNCE: Ice 2.0 released)

Did anyone (preferrably someone who's independent from the suppliers - no
flamewars please) ever compare OmniORB and ICE, especially the Python
interfaces of both, concerning:

- functionality offered
- development efficiency
- performance & ressource requirements
- stability, implementation quality etc.?

TIA,
