Allison's paper does an excellent job of explaining why comparing 
logit & probit coefficients across groups leads you into a potential 
minefield.  My paper explains why Allison's proposed solution may 
just be leading you into a different minefield.  :) I propose some 
enhancements of Allison's method, but the biggest thing may be just 
to realize that there can be minefields whichever way you go.
