I looked at both and agree.
It isn't the same at all, but it is similar.  
So it's probably "good enough" for some folks, up until when it isn't good enough.
The wallet is great for all who are married for life to XBC, and I'm happy it is there, but also like the availability of privacy built in to the XMR protocol.
That it is built in, makes best practice into common practice.  Choices make both better.
