[Symphony] SYMPHONY vs COIN/BCP

[Terry]

I read a little about COIN/BCP in reading about SYMPHONY. I'm trying to decide why I would use one or the other. I understand they are very similar, SYMPHONY is C and easier for beginners (that's me), and BCP is C++ (that's fine). But, that's about all I know. 

How does the performance compare? I know it's hard to say because of the nature of all solvers. Where do you think BCP would fall on this chart with SYMPHONY:

Or, in these stats:

I read somewhere that COIN/BCP and SYMPHONY are being combined in a new solver under development. Is that still being worked on? Does it have a name?

Thanks.
