Not bad, they are pretty smart with their money.
Not a whole lot of difference in how they operate as the Southern Baptist Convention (just much larger numbers for the LDS).

“Not a whole lot of difference in how they operate as the Southern Baptist Convention”
Whoa, gotta jump in here. Southern Baptists aren’t anything like the Mormons. Mormonism is a top-down controlling religion, where the one “Church” owns and controls all their subsidiaries. It is an authoritarian organization.
Southern Baptist churches are completely, 100% independent of any higher controlling authority. The national Convention has zero control — and I do mean zero — control of a local church. The local church calls the shots, and either gives, or doesn’t give, to the national, state and local Baptist associations. Local SBC churches don’t take orders. If they cooperate with other Southern Baptists, they do it because they want to, not because they have to.
Southern Baptists are fiercely independent. Mormons take their orders from headquarters.
