The verdict
Honours end even at 3–3, which is the awkward kind of matchup: whoever calls the stat decides the round.
Baron 1898 is a steel Dive Coaster coaster at Efteling, NL, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Dæmonen is a steel Floorless Coaster coaster at Tivoli Gardens, DK, built by Bolliger & Mabillard.
They come from the same drawing office: Bolliger & Mabillard. That makes the gaps below a question of brief and budget rather than engineering house style.
Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.
