A vive headset without controllers is by itself objectively worse than a rift on all accounts. Maybe your experience shows how important software is.
Integrated audio is definitely nice, but not a deal breaker and the improved ease in reaching a comfortable setup is definitely and advantage, but it makes trade offs in other areas.
You could split hairs about where the trade offs were made (fov vs SDE) but the displays and optics are so similar that those dont matter.
