I vote for "better" in the context of measurements.I'm always disappointed to hear the word 'better' used in the context of this hobby, all personal preferences should be respected (I have owned and enjoyed a wide variety of various analogue, digital, transistor and valve based systems since the mid 1970's).
'Different' is a less controversial word which reflects individual taste - I also happen to prefer spicy food to plain, music to sport, documentary to drama but that shouldn't imply my choices are superior to someone else's.
