The two systems change their geometry dependant on where the wheel is within the suspension stroke, so the amount of body roll is entirely relevant.
You also.have to bear in mind that the angle and position of a McPherson strut can also be tailored to suit, and ultimately most of the gain you get from a twin wishbone setup is in a straight line, and not when cornering.
The stock damper rod shocks offer the exact opposite to what is desired for performance or comfort, but they are standard on most passenger cars because they're dirt cheap and consumers know no better. This is why all regular type saloon cars irrespective of manufacturer are pretty poor at speed on an undulating road, you'll just never know unless you've driven anything that really works well.
Go drive something with a proper set of cartridge type dampers then come back and tell me the honda shocks are any good in comparison.
Read Stevearcade's review on his coilovers. Even a cheaper set that all run the same generic cartridge is an enormous improvement in comfort despite being considerably stiffer.
I've spent years racing motorcycles and virtually all my setup time focuses on suspension. All the same rules apply to things with 4 wheels too, and I went through various caster, camber and toe changes on my Subaru to have an estate care that was comfortable and safe, yet would run rings round virtually anything in the corners (with a McPherson strut front end). The foundation of all that performance is a good set of dampers, and the biggest irony of all of it was that despite being the same weight, the spring rate was far lighter than the accord, and the ride quality infinitely better too.
