Who will do better?
Here are my thoughts, but what are yours on who will do better and why?

For me I don't think either guy has great detail and separation. Compton does look a lot tighter in the Golden State though. Both guys have highish lat insertions and Compton gets away with in the BDB because his upper back, traps and shoulders are so thick. Dallas as a tall man will always struggle with his back I feel and with so many shows being won from the back he has his work cut out.

Dallas is starting to widen a little at the waist and this is accentuated by the gap between his abs.

i have Justin ahead right now but I would like to see Dallas continue making the phenomenal progress he has this year.

Ultimately though I think these guys are big and thick but lack the type of look to win the Olympia, the superman look is where it is at when it comes to the Top 3 at the O and that's the way it should be in my opinion provided conditioning is good.

Compton all the way

While I think that Compton has the more complete physique right now, I think Dallas will place higher. Compton has more muscle and better separation judging from their last showings. Dallas is much taller and has some work to do to fill out that frame.
The thing that gives Dallas the edge is his stage presence. He is very interactive with the crowd and seems to be having fun on stage, while Compton looks more like he is their for work and to do a job. I like them both, but I think stage the presentation is what will make the difference.

Compton & McCarver:

They're in the group of 5 with Winklaar, Bonac and Cedric that will be knocking on door to the top four (Ramy, Rhoden, Heath, Dex). I wouldn't count out Beyeke either, but we'll see how he does at the Arnold Asia.

Anyway, Compton is more complete than McCarver right now. His hamstrings aren't top 10, but the rest of him is top 3. And McCarver is in a similar position with his back ; it's not top 10, but the rest of him is top 5. McCarver is younger and has more potential in his frame though.

I'll stick with my longterm belief that it will be McCarver, Ramy and Beyeke battling for future Olympias, while Compton, Bonac, De Asha and Big Josh keep them honest. Kuclo, Morel, Akim and Obaid round out my future top 10 threats for the remainder of the 20-TEENS decade.

I'm not convinced that Centopani has maximized his potential, either. We've seen him finish 8th in 2012 ahead of Beyeke, Winklaar and Obaid.

Of course for all this to happen Heath, Dex, Rhoden, Wolf, Kai and Cedric will all need to slip and decide to pack it in at some point. But all those 39-46 year old's are still extremely dangerous on stage.

If the Olympia was today I'd predict Compton 5th (and pushing Dex for 4th) and McCarver 8th based on their most recent looks.
