Really well done! Playing around with it a little, the only thing I noticed was it was difficult to see which color meant "better" when comparing values. Maybe add a little checkmark or something if one stat is higher?

Other than that, I love how you don't just compare raw values, but have the ability to select armor/range/etc. That's something I see missing in a lot of similar "comparison" applications.

Thanks! Great point on the highlighting; it's a tough balance because I also want to make it look subtle (I'd be worried that an icon would be jarring when there is a sea of them during a comparison) but I'm sure something could be done to improve it. Hmm, perhaps colouring the "best" text with the my accent/success colour (the yellow) rather than, or in addition to, the weapon's name? Something to think about.
I have updated the visuals for highlighting the "best" value as a result of your feedback; let me know how you feel about the change :)
