I have seen very seasoned breeders in this breed both talk about the same dogs with highly varying opinions. Some love a particular dog others hate it. Some times there are glaring faults that really contradict the written standard that can lead you to think "this person is not a good judge of quality. Other times there is no such glaring feature and it is a matter of difference of opinions and interpretations of quality. I have found that "all breed" judges tend to focus on traits common throughout breeds i.e. good structure, movement, etc rather then breed specific qualities. I have also found breeder judges often to focus more on the breed specific traits or in Cavaliers, the head then other things like structure and/or movement. The best judges know both but some do not. Learn your judges and know who likes what.
