Caliber measures the level of skill or standard someone or something reaches; Quality is the overall excellence or value built into a product or experience.

RON (Research Octane Number) is the lab-tested knock resistance of gasoline; MON (Motor Octane Number) is the tougher, engine-simulated test of the same fuel under heavier load.
