They both show their teeth on the chops as best as they only know how, but when Leviathon hits at 2:27 and on until the end of the solo, its quite exraordinary to find that in his style and approach, which in turn gives it a bit more feel IMO.

Don't want to turn this into a Becker vs Yingwee thread so I'll leave it at that. I do get what you are saying though... Don't believe the hype!
Again, that is all technicalities. Listening, what imagery is there, what does it say? What does it make me feel? That is why I hate Four Seasons as opposed to other works.

It doesn't matter what key or scale or way things are used - does it portray something real or is it stereotypical, emotionless dead nothingness?
