The thread title is very misleading.

Morpheus is NOT better than the latest OR shown. If it wasn't better than the FIRS OR then everyone would be very worried. Hence the statement carries no inherent weight. It's just a crowd puller.

In other words I don't like it.

OR will be better than Morpheus. Most people agree on this. Morpheus will be amazing in it's own right, but this thread title is distasteful for the reasons I've mentioned.

Morpheus is not worse either. Some reports say they prefer it to Crystal Cove/DK2 and some say they don't.

 

I think you're reading very biased reports.

In terms of screen display - the ONLY thing that matters here - DK2 is better in every important way: Resolution, Angle of view, refresh rate etc.

"We were surprised to find that Project Morpheus is already on a level playing field with Oculus Rift, and even shows it up in some places."

"As an experience it's comparable to Oculus - to the DK2, that is, the most recent iteration of the headset that incorporates Crystal Cove and that opened up pre-orders yesterday - although there are clear points of differentiation."

"There are still some pretty major issues to overcome in Project Morpheus. Vision blur, for instance, is a much bigger problem on Morpheus than on Crystal Cove/Rift DK2. The screen resolution is also clearly not as high as DK2, making everything a bit muddier, visually speaking."

"Sony's VR headset is a worthy competitor for the Oculus Rift"

"Having tried both Sony’s new Project Morpheus virtual reality prototype for PlayStation 4 and the latest development kit from Oculus, I have to give the slight edge to the young upstart."

"Sony's challenge was to prove that it could do virtual reality as well as the Oculus Rift, and they passed that test with ease. The display looks wonderful, the demos were running at 60 frames per second, the screens looked just about as good as the Rift Development Kit 2"

"this experience is just as massive as Oculus Rift’s DK2. While it’s not all as perfectly smooth as Oculus Rift, since we’re still ever-so-limited by the PS4’s abilities in this unit, it’s still not bringing us the same queasy feeling we had with the first Oculus Rift experience."

 

There's every single article I could find that compares PM with OR. It's just absurd that you're so adamant that the two aren't even comparable.
