Much closer, although I'll still go with Claremont. While Stern may have been more consistent, Claremont at his best was better. Both are really high on my list of all-time favorites, though.
Getting back to yesterday's Toss-Up, I was surprised at how split it was. Nothing against Archie Goodwin - he's a fine writer. But I can't think of one "Wow; that's one of the best stories I've ever read!" story he wrote. I can easily think of a dozen Claremont stories that fit that bill.
Plus, Claremont has a distinctive style. You can read one of his stories and know he wrote it.
That's just a personal opinion, though, and my opinion is no more valid that any one else's.
