The verdict
SheiKra shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.
Dæmonen is a steel Floorless Coaster coaster at Tivoli Gardens, DK, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. SheiKra is a steel Dive 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.
They are near-contemporaries — 2004 and 2005 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
