I'm confused, perhaps because I'm looking for big differences that aren't there. I've read through both sites (SDS and EFII) and the posts I could find here. It looks like both companies are about to introduce new generation systems which replace both ignition and fuel delivery.
My mission: Cross country and local leisure flying, IFR, no racing.
My objectives: Replace my carburetor and magnetos with a modern integrated system with the expectation of easier starting, better reliability, better power and economy
Can anyone help me with a layman's breakout of differences between the two?
Thanks all!

Can anyone help me with a layman's breakout of differences between the two?
- First off, are these systems overkill for my objective, and if so what would be the cheaper / less sophisticated integrated solution?
- Is there a significant difference in system price / installation effort required?
- Do both systems automatically tune to lean of peak?
- Are both fully redundant systems suitable for IFR? If so, do both / either require a dual bus battery backup?
- Anything else a prospective buyer should consider?
Thanks all!
