Gentlefolk,
A little while back, I posited a question: Is the CZ 75B worth $200 and 36% more than the upstart Canik clone?
After some introductory waffling, I came to a firm conclusion: I dunno, it depends.
A couple weeks ago, I took the two out for another shoot, at an indoor range. Following are the images. All shots were taken at the 15 foot mark, the only change from my previous shoot and this was I wore new glasses, which is kind of a "duh" and could account for my less-scattered grouping. Or, maybe I am getting used to the two and their differences.
Spoiler alert: my current opinion between the CZ 75B and the Canik? I dunno, it depends. For me, that day, each were either spot-on or all over. This was clearly the shooter issue, since it was happening with both pistols, so I can't blame the tools.
In terms of function, both pistols performed with no type of failure.

===============================
In terms of personal preference, it all depends which one I am shooting at the time. The CZ seems tighter, more unified, nimbler. The Canik feels stouter, fills my hands, provides a slight better recoil pulse as a result of more apparent mass/surface area in the grip.
The CZ has better sights, but not hugely so.
In the vanity, vanity, all is vanity department, I just _like_ the brushed chrome of the Canik better than the flat black of the CZ. Then again, for social occasions, I would prefer the low reflectivity of the CZ over the brighter Canik.
I would enjoy seeing other opinions. As they say in the academic world "more research is indicated...."
