I'd argue that Digg vs Reddit in the early days would be a counterpoint to your argument. They were very similar, doing the same thing for similar people. Digg went VC and advertised heavily, reddit sold quickly and stayed under the radar. Had Digg not imploded, or had they sold at their peak for the 60MM they were offered, theirs would have seemed the much better path to take.
