>>Market cap is a simple measure of a company's presence in the industry, and in this case, the size of the company's installed base. <<

Would be relevant if the company is being bought for that reason.
If the company is being bought for the technology it owns then it is not so relevant.
So unless one knows why the company is being bought it may not be productive to compare the market caps.
