Fun fact: if you look at who worked with whom, you can trace a direct line of descent from John Miller (inventor of the upstop wheel and first of the "great" coaster designers) all the way to Gravity Group. GG was founded by former designers for CCI, which was founded by former designers for Dinn Corp., which built coasters designed by Curtis D. Summers, who worked for John Allen, who co-designed with Herb Schmeck, who worked with John Miller. So they are part of a continuity of coaster design and innovation that stretches back over 100 years. Their coasters actually make me think of what John Miller might be designing if he were still around today.

IMO, there are three branches that almost all manufacturers derive from. They are the John Miller line (GCI, Gravity Group), the Anton Schwarzkopf line (Intamin, B&M), and the Walt Disney line (Arrow, S&S).

I'd love to see a video where you do a detailed comparison of the timberliners and the millennium flyers. Not necessarily saying which one is better, but pointing out any key differences.
