However, based solely on a two-month golden patch at home, I'll have to pump the brakes a little bit on whether they have already become New Zealand's greatest No 3 and No 4 combination, surpassing the enigmatic Martin Crowe and erstwhile Andrew Jones.
So many factors come into play when contrasting the fortunes of teams or individual players separated by upwards of at least a decade of their code's evolution.
Could LeBron James have "held court" with Michael Jordan? Would Mike Tyson have been able to overcome Muhammad Ali's stinging jabs to connect with his right hand uppercut?
Most of the above you would consider by studying countless videos, but with cricket you live on the stats, which is why constant reassessment of rankings are viable and therefore are easily made.
Mark Greatbatch has more of a grounding in reality to offer an opinion having been Crowe and Jones' long-time teammate while presiding over the careers of Taylor and Williamson as a coach and now New Zealand selector.
He has no hesitation in ranking the modern pairing as equals alongside the classic model, although given we are right in the middle of a series with the world champions it behooves Greatbatch to talk up the guys that have to do the business.
So, let us look at the stats.
In tests, Crowe and Jones had 28 innings together for 1803 runs making four century and six half-century stands with a 64.39 average.
The best, of course, was the world record 467 against Sri Lanka (Jones finished 186no, Crowe 299).
Before this current test, Taylor and Williamson have 25 combined innings for 1181 runs, including two centuries, averaging 53.68.
The younger pairing have the edge in the one day internationals 848 runs in 18 innings for a 49.88 average, compared to Crowe and Jones' 1588 in 41 innings, at 41.78.
So much comes into play when contrasting the day and age though.
Crowe and Jones did not have the advantage of batting power plays, although nor did they play in a time when spinners could be considered the opposition's primary attacking weapon.
Today, New Zealand Cricket struggles to secure regular tours and series with our giant Australian neighbours who could really put the heat on Taylor and Williamson, whereas 15-20 years ago it was commonplace to hop across the ditch every second summer.
Crowe and Jones also played India at a time when outside of the sub-continent they were reliable bunnies whereas today ... oh, wait.
Pitches were different, the ball is different, heck even the weather can be said to have changed.
Maybe the best outcome from this debate is for the first time in 19 years we actually have the comparable stats from two successful top order pairings to actually have a jolly old discussion around the chilly bin or water cooler.
Nearly two decades has been far too long to have something to write home about.
