Hey strike,
In oil handling capabilities, they're both pretty close but I see the Mean with a more pronounced backend finish. The SZ is smoother even though it is just reactive. My Mean has a strong midlane read and a strong backend finish, very good combo. You can always alter the cover to handle more oil as needed.
