Workman letter positions
The arrangement changes many letters while keeping a familiar number row and several punctuation positions. Compare against QWERTY or Colemak to inspect every changed position.
Compare using your writing
Use the same sample text for each arrangement and inspect finger and row use separately. The frequency of your language, code symbols and common letter pairs affects those counts.
