  We analyse the performance of two quantum-state-transfer Hamiltonians in the
presence of diagonal and off-diagonal disorder, and in terms of different
measures. The first Hamiltonian pertains to a fully-engineered chain and the
second to a chain with modified boundary couplings. The task is to find which
Hamiltonian is the most robust to given levels of disorder and irrespective of
the input state. In this respect, it is shown that the performance of the two
protocols are approximately equivalent.
