In comparing the products of the two manufacturers you need to be careful to compare like to like. Price bracket is only one way to ensure that they aren't apples and oranges. I have two The Citizens and two Grand Seikos, both pairs in comparable ranges and price brackets and as far as I can see, they are equal in quality, finish and in every other way. As a matter of fact, they are even similar in looks, but that's because they all appeal to me in terms of appearance..... very simple, understated, no numbers, minimal information/braggartry on the dial.
I'm not familiar enough with both sets of ranges to be able to make general comparisons but from what I've seen of both makes, as long as you're careful to stay away from the apples and oranges trap, they must be comparable.
