For the people who beta test eqII and have played FFXI, how do you compare the two?

Some random thoughts:
I like the fact that EQ2 allows me to solo at least moderately well and gain xp. There are many more quests in EQII. EQII is more graphically detailed and obviously has a more sophisticated graphics engine behind it all but lacks graphical soul. I still miss watching sunsets in La Theine. I really miss switching jobs at a moment's notice to match up with my friends or allies. EQ2's crafting system seems to have great (albeit currently flawed) potential.
I cancelled my FFXI account last month (mostly because I hate enforced grouping). I plan on playing EQ2 for at least a few months to see how the bug destruction goes.
