Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 2
Peggle Deluxe leans harder on execution: aiming shot angle requires some precision
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance7 vs 6
Peggle Deluxe leans harder on variance: peg bounce physics are highly unpredictable
Optimization3 vs 4
Road 96 leans harder on optimization: Resource management and route choices are light but solvable systems
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
