I have taken them all at one time or another so can't give you an exact
comparison, for my money the advanced amateur was the hardest.
As I cut my teeth on "Hollow State", the tube stuff was easy. You haven't
lived until you have a rig with 3B24's emitting their purple glow into the
shack.

the amateur and commercial licenses?

I remember the First Phone as being the toughest test. There were a lot
of questions about tube type circuits, and I was only familiar with
solid state. The amateur tests had been "modernized" with transistor
circuit questions, but the commercial tests were on "fifties" era
circuits.
