i'd rather military 400 and bench 200 than bench 500 and military 200. of course that's likely impossible, but that kind of shoulder strength would be insane. this is assuming i was just a normal guy who wasn't hung up on BP'ing a lot of weight, though.

I think all you have to do is look at carryover. Benching a lot tends to benefit overhead pressing a lot less than vice versa. Plus it's just a much more functional movement. I mean how often are you pushing against something with a stable surface behind you. It's a pretty weird movement really.
