Yeah, I'd rather hear most GFR than most Cream any day too. But I'll go even farther and say that, while they may not have been "better musicians" in the usual sense of the term (scope, command of their instruments, versatility, etc.), Mel Schacher and Don Brewer were definitely a tighter and more propulsive rhythm section than Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. The GFR bassist & drummer were "better ROCK musicians" than the Cream backline.From a purely guitaristic standpoint I'm indifferent to both Mark Farner & Eric Clapton, so for me that's a wash. I suppose I prefer Clapton's soloing to Farner's, but I prefer Farner's rhythm guitar playing to Clapton's, especially on up-tempo, R&B type grooves.
