I think,we can't use of - Prepositional phrase + POSSESSIVE together. Right ?
Not understanding your question. So, are you asking the experts whether the following would be incorrect:

Richard's shoe-size is bigger than that of his brother.

The sentence you mentioned is obviously correct. However, I think, there is a subtle difference in MEANING in the SC at hand (re option E) and your sentence. (Let's see what experts have to say!)

@Verbal Experts - could you please let me know whether the following is an ERROR in option E:

"...Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia, whose music was significantly different from THAT of HIS own" -- is this construction in RED GRAMMATICALLY viable on GMAT ? Isn't it REDUNDANT ?

This is obviously incorrect, because of "double possessive":

...Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia, whose music was significantly different from THAT (music) of HIS own (music).

So, this sentence seems to be saying that "music" has "music".:D

So, it can be:

...Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia, whose music was significantly different from of HIS own

Or we can say:

...Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia, whose music was significantly different from THAT of the artist.

bonetlobo - I also agree with you! In fact, I had the same thought in mind...

But curious, why experts are yet to chime in ? (is it too silly a qs to ask ? :-()

P.S: @Mitch/Dave/Ceilidh/Marty - can anybody quickly share your thoughts guys ?
