Is CakePHP more suitable for web services or Zend Framework?

Dear CakePHP gurus,

I have no intention to start an emotional thread about which framework is better. Asking this question on this forum is also rather stupid because members here are likely to be biased. Nevertheless, I hope to get objective replies.

I would like to build a website that focuses on web services - particularly CRUD, search and query functions. From what I read on the net, Zend Framework supporters say that Zend has much more components than CakePHP to support web services. On the other hand, my understanding of CakePHP is that Zend Framework components can be imported into CakePHP vendors folder. If that is the case, wouldn't it be a no-brainer to use CakePHP? In that regard, I have a few questions ...
- How easy is it to import Zend components into CakePHP? Do we need to modify the Zend components such that they follow certain naming conventions?
- Can most Zend components or only selected ones be imported? How about the ones that deal with web services?

Thank you for your help.
