I do not think we have the right to compare two outright geniuses such as Lloyd and Chaplin. After all Lloyd's first character Lonesome Luke was based on Chaplin's tramp character. I have been a fan of both of them ever since I can remember. Tis true, it is because Lloyd's movies are so rare to be shown/seen that makes us appreciate them more. Chaplin is more accessible and certainly more famous. That was also the reason behind the rediscovery of Buster Keaton by the general public.
