log4net vs. Enterprise Library Logging

Has anyone done a thorough comparison between log4net and Enterprise Library Logging block? 

I am curious if EntLib logging can handle everything that log4net can do.  Specifically, can you output things like the line number from the code where the logging entry was made?

Please comment if you have any suggestions.

I did a comparison about a year ago (back then it was just a standalone block) and log4net was much more advanced and flexible. But EIF (Enterprise Instrumentation Framework) was even better for my need since it also supported real-time perf counter / WMI style logging.

I like log4net's quite fail that the EntLib doesn't seem to do as well. But I choose to go with EntLib bacause log4net doesn't serialize and EntLib just uses static methods.

I long ago found this blog about the comparison between log4net and EIF. http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2004/05/17/133196.aspx
