Ancestry Composition across three testing companies

Back in 2012 I posted my Ancestry Composition results from 23andMe. I thought I'd revisit this by comparing my results from 23andMe, Ancestry, and FamilyTreeDNA.

What I gather here is that we're not particularly good at distinguishing between British Isles and Western Europe.
