On the subjective piece I find the C&J lasts a little better fit for my feet - 348 and 363. In AS I haven't tried the 724, however I have the 48 in an Ex makeup of a HG style, 99, and 87.
On the objective, I agree that the leather quality in the AS Ex is equal to C&J handgrade. On my special make up of the AS HG style, the burnishing is nicer than on C&J HG. My AS Ex also have nicer soles- semi-fiddleback than on the C&J HG. I also like the slightly higher heel stack on the AS Ex.
subjective opinion, I like the 109, 99 and 724 lasts better than CJ lasts, they all fit me fine, I prefer the looks.
objective opinion, can't find any difference in quality between the uppers of CJ HG and AS EX.
The finish on the sole and heel is better on AS EX.
Finally, it's readily available at a lower price including lasted trees, unlike CJ which you have to wait 2 to 3 months, and vendors always have good promotions.
