I have a soft spot for the Steinhardt–Turok model
So do I, for me it makes more sense, and I like their view of the W-MAP.

Turok and Steinhardt explain it pretty good in the series "Through the worm hole" in episode 4 What Happened Before the Beginning? The big bang was not the beginning of the universe but a collision between branes. Also the fact that "The lack of growth of the most massive galaxies" points to inflation, as explained by the balloon example being not quite right for me. As if the universe and everything in it is expanding why has some of it supposedly stopped? as they explain in there book science is at exciting point in time as the two models claim the prize, and we are able to see it unfold
