Listen to "Lady of the Snow" or "Candlelight Fantasia"
and then to "Inferno" or "Incantations of the Apprentice". And I now not that much singers who can hold a tone that long like Russell Allen... He has much more sustain than James LaBrie will ever have and furthermore Russell Allen sings much more soulful, feeling and much more pleasant.

Soulfull singing, how about what James does on Learning to Live or the entire Scenes From a Memory album?  Russell Allen is a typical heavy metal singer in a progressive band, James LaBrie is just an all around great progressive vocalist singing in more progressive projects.

I just wondered because you talk as if you've never heard Russell before...

So, you mentioned Russell is a heavy metal singer...
Symphony X does a lot of progressive power metal, that's the reason why he sings in that style.
That doesn't mean that he doesn't fit into other stuff,
he would also be a perfect pop-singer and he also perfectly fits into progressive music...

I LOVE both of them, they got me into prog rock, prog metal in particular. I still haven't come across anyone else who can quite match them. That said, I didn't want to shirk out of making a choice, so I went Symphony X. Not because they're any better or worse than Dream Theater, but just because I like their style more - the classical influences, the epic choruses, etc.
