Just have to say it. (I apologize if this was said earlier, not reading all 14 pages - "It's not that i'm lazy Bob, I just don't care.")
I'd say the F-22 is easily about 19.5 times more effective aerodynamically than a T-50, since 19.5x more Raptors were produced... just sayin'...
This is about as relevant as comparing the combat characteristics of the X-29 to the Su-47, or the MiG Project 1.44 to the Northrop YF-23.
How about the missile intercept kinematics comparison of "Super-Phantom" with PW1120 engines versus the J-79, and thus being able to super-cruise. I mean who doesn't want a Phantom that can super-cruise!?!
Kidding aside, 'prototype' or 'experimental' aircraft may extend technologies for other programs, but in combat nobody cares.

PS - I always hoped for an F-16X Viper powered by the F100-PW-232 w/PYBB Nozzle, but that never happened either.... They would have eaten Su-47s for breakfast WVR!

[Airplanes are] near perfect, all they lack is the ability to forgive.
