On the information dissemination front… The Focus Fusion society is Lightyears ahead of Talk-Polywell. Being funded by the Navy means that we only get periodic updates and those are VERY vague and missing the good details. And the lack of information seems to fuel more comments and debate. They have longer discussion threads it seems… and also they attract some of the fringes of science too.

I would certainly like to see an old-fashioned race between Focus Fusion and Polywell. But I don’t think Poylwell is considering Aneutronic seriously just yet. They want a working powerplant using D-T first. But also, they are both on different scales of power output. Focus Fusion will be capped at 5MW while Polywell might exceed 100MW.
