When using this pattern, be sure to not use comparative forms - for example, 兄と比べて私の背が高い, not 兄と比べて私の方が背が高い。 In other words, the part after 比べ(て）should be able to stand on its own.

There is also another construction possible:
Sentence + のに + 比べ

Example:
自分で勉強するのに比べ、先生を聞くは便利だが、欠点もある。
Asking a teacher is more convenient than studying alone, but there are also drawbacks.

Isn't construction 3 the same as 2? In 恵理子さん’s 例文「勉強するの」and[に比べ]　are distinct units, in which the the　の is simply nominalizing the 勉強する. Therefore #3 doesn't exist I don't think? Or am I incorrect? Be great to hear other people's views. Thanks :)

You're correct in that it is nominalizing the verb, so...techinically, yes, they could be considered the same. I added the second because I believe that a lot of people don't immediately think of nominalized nouns when they see the word 'Noun' as part of a grammar structure. In other words, it is just to make it a bit clearer for users.

に比べ　is the version for formal writing　(連用中止形). So the differences all derive from that. Using the 連用中止形 and its friend である in speech make you sound like you're talking down to people -- or so I'm told.
