WebsiteFilter: help me find a good interactive product comparison site/tool.

I'm looking for your favorite web site(s) that let you compare 2 products - actually, any 2 anything...
In particular, I'd love to find any interactive site - kinds that lets you add and delete various options (filters etc.) during a process, ideally letting you do them in real time (something AJAXy and the like) without having to reload the page. I don't care about the content - I'm looking for functionality. I'm creating some sort of search for a product that has many technical variables, and am looking for creative ways that let you search and filter between many different types of variables. Good examples of filtering or re-sorting once the results come back (other than 'click on the column title to re-sort') are much appreciated as well.
thanks for any help - sorry if this sounds a little too jargony. Share your link love...

Montrail has an interesting implementation of this feature. From the site navigation, click Products > Fusion, then click on the Compare Shoes button and drag the shoe photos into the box that appears.

I found the Edmunds.com car comparison useful, although it's not that flash in terms of technology. The DPReview.com camera comparison is similar.

Response by poster: Thanks for the links people - it's given me a few good ideas. That Montrail one is definitely quite beautiful...
