But, Stan fully deserved each one of his wins. Look at this USO, He beat three quality players in Del Potro, Kei Nishikori and Novak in the business end. In AO 2014, even though Rafa might have had some back issues, one should remember that it was Stan who took out #1 seed Novak. Similarly, in RG 2015 Stan defeated a hands down favorite in Nole.
While I do agree that Andy is more consistent in going deep, there is no question who is the big match player.
I agree with your last sentence about Andy and Stan's careers.
However, I disagreed with your first two paragraphs. I'm not saying which titles are more impressive than other but what I am saying is that all of Murray's and Wawrinka's slam titles are all equally important. Winning a major is tough so you can't really say which title was more impressive.
If we go by that criteria on the opponent the champions faced during the tournament, then I think Djokovic has the most impressive resume even though he has 5 less slams than Federer.
Roger and Novak don't have same number of slams.
Andy and Stan have the same number of slams. So, in this case it is fare to look at the quality of their slam wins to distinguish them.
Needless to say that I agree that Andy has much better record on the tour and in particular on the ATP Masters events.
