I think a valuable comparison would not be of features but of the security, and therefore a person comparing them would need real security expertise. I'd worry about bad information from non-experts. In the past, at least some security experts on HN have recommended 1Password.
All these people storing all their secrets in one place creates an exceptionally valuable target that I expect, IMHO, will attract well-resourced attacks. Find a way to crack Lastpass, and imagine what you have - it's the ultimate breach (and if you are smart, nobody will know).
To be a net gain in security, a password manager needs very effective security for itself. If the user wants something to ease the burden of managing all those exposed passwords, then perhaps features are the issue.
