The comparison is that if it’s indeed illegal, how is one that is clearly only directly benefiting the campaign a mere misdemeanor fine and the other a felony?

It's very likely Bragg's attempt to push this to a felony fails. It's just speculation (SINCE WE DON'T KNOW THE CHARGES) about what evidence is available and what people might be doing.

If Trump gets a $1000 fine for this, I feel like that's justice.

It's felony or nothing as the statute of limitations has expired on the misdemeanor. My money is on the latter.
