peak numbers are one bragging point. But when looking at acceleration or climbing a hill, it's only a part of the equation. The real thing to look at is the area under the torque curve used during acceleration or climbing. That's what really makes the difference. A broad flat torque curve will easily beat out a much higher peakier torque curve for acceleration or pulling.
That's what I'd like to see with a graph showing the combine area under the torque curve when accelerated from 0 to 70 mph or so, and from say 45 to 60 as well.
