Whats the main difference from Akia's OS and the JJ' OS?

I've just switched from Akai to JJ and I've got to say I'm very pleased I did.
There is no "main difference" I can see, it's all the little difference which add up. Here are some of the things which make me like JJ more...
Audio Editing: Akai has 2 view, linear, which is ok but not very accurate, and logorhythmic had it's uses once or twice but generally it's pretty unhelpful. JJ however has no logorhythmic but has the ability to zoom both horizontally and vertically which allows you to be as accurate as you want.
Chopping: This is just easier and more intuative, takes a little bit of getting used to after using the akai os but it's definately an improvement (the previous point also applies here).
Better layout of the main screen, just easier to see what's going on.
Midi editor: like grid editor but with note length & note rather than pad.
Global editor: allows you to edit all pad, mixer, program and effects all in one go (Mod + Pad 11).
Audio tracks: Tracks 57 - 64 are now audio tracks, these are just a bit nicer to use rather than loading long sample to pads.
Simultainious sequences: play 2 sequences at once, not really found a use for this myself yet but it's certainly nice to try things out and play with.
There is plenty more but those are some of the standout things for me.
