Would be a nice comparison for you to try out for sure, I've grown in a few times and it definetly shares some of the attributes you mentioned.
The cycle time is lower mine were done +- 70 days, and the buds are pretty dense, They have the 'up' high you mentioned but then it rounds off with an indica kick too it.
I've found early and late males in certain lines, and the difference has been as much as 10 days between them.
I've also had plants that just wouldn't auto, but usually by the time I've made my own 'F2's',( i say F2's like that because you don't really know how much something has been worked usually) they start to become more predictable and stable over time.
