I think the benefits in terms of programming are roughly the same... but in terms of infrastructure overhead, sane defaults and cost, there's quite a bit of difference.

The programming model is also much much better.

Explicit control over write durability and out-dated reads alone is a pretty big advantage. When you start to factor in how much better ReQL is and the atomic nature of ReQL queries RethinkDB pulls far ahead.
