We examine the relationship between little Higgs and 5d composite models with identical symmetry structures. By performing an "extreme" deconstruction, one can reduce any warped composite model to a little Higgs theory on a handful of sites. This allows us to use 4d intuition and the powerful constraints of nonlinear sigma models to elucidate obscure points in the original setup. We find that the finiteness of the Higgs potential in 5d is due to the same collective symmetry breaking as in the little Higgs. We compare a 4d and a 5d model with the same symmetry to the data. Reviewing the constraints on models related to the Minimal Composite Higgs (hep-ph/0412089), we see that it has difficulty in producing acceptable values for S, T, and m_{top} simultaneously. By contrast, in a global analysis, the Minimal Moose with custodial symmetry is viable in a large region of its parameter space and suffers from no numeric tunings. We conjecture that this result is generic for 4d and 5d models with identical symmetries. The data will less strongly constrain the little theory.
