The verdict
Montu sweeps every comparable stat. There is no line on the card where Dæmonen is the better pick, so the only way this duel turns is on who calls the stat.
Dæmonen is a steel Floorless Coaster coaster at Tivoli Gardens, DK, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Montu is a steel Inverted Coaster coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, US, 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.
