I actually did a full blown valuation project on MA vs V and can tell you they are VERY good comparables. Also really interesting business models once you dig into them a bit - certainly found out a lot of stuff I didn't know before. Worth comparing to AXP too even though it's a different model just so the contrast of differences becomes more apparent.
