That’s a good comparison. Both get you from A to B. 
The functionality to do that is sufficient in both.
Some would like to have a few noticeable different cheap Kias, Hyundais etc.
and few want a single Mercedes with lots of features you don’t need for a simpl trip from A to B.
Btw. how many years did it take PMDG to make the FD useable in their 737?
