I have both mfgs.....
The crown premiums are as close to DM or FM quality with a lot of the extras that these companies had. The JL's are nice as well but not all the extra's, but sit nicely next to the others.

I think that the Johnny Lightning ones have better proportions
The JL's come in lots of colors, although some aren't exact to factory shades (the orange is metallic). Most of the JL's have the Road Runner character too. They are not as detailed as the Crown Premium ones, but to my eye, JL got the body shape "right". I can post some photos later, but you can't go wrong with any of them.
