No direct comparison. I run an Eliminator T7 on the trail bike which has decent grip on wet rocks and rolls ok by "Enduro" standards. Which means the rubber is closer to Maxxterra than to XC race rubber.
The T5 on the other hand seems to be a really fast and therefore less grippy XC rubber. A magazine measured rolling speed in the same range as other XC race tyres. I guess you will find that tyre to be quite similar to the Aspen.
