～に比べて/〜と比べて: "Compared to X"

Introduction

Now, I'm not usually one to say stuff like, "MaruMori's the best site to learn Japanese," but in the spirit of today's comparative lesson, I will say this:

Compared to all of the other options, MaruMori is the funniest, cutest, most awesome, has the most handsome and/or beautiful staff,... did I say cutest? Bestest, most good-smelling, has the best theme song... I could keep going!
