Tools->options vs. project properties vs dynamic selection

I think there is some opportunity for improvement in the location of options and settings.

For making schema comparisons, the option to ignore various features of the database are set in the application scope Tools->Options area.

This doesn't make much sense to me. While you could set standard or default options there, I think that those choices will vary significantly from project to project or comparison to comparison.

These settings should be at least at the project properties level and, in my opinion, it would be even better, along with project and application scope settings, if you had the option of setting the ignore choices from the "New Schema Comparison" window where you choose the databases to compare.
