Yeah, I don't look at it in the way that one is better at privacy, so hence the other is bad; it's more of me saying Monero isn't AS good as those who love it say it is either (as we've seen with some evidence of deanonymizong/tracing back transactions), so users of both need to adjust their threat models.

I have other issues with Monero that I believe make it unsuitable for a secure and reliable market currency in the long-run. Free flowing, uncensorable markets should be the default, not just darknet sites for others to search out for, so they must be accessible and have the ability to spread rapidly, which I think LN and ecash allow for more readily (while still preserving privacy, albeit not perfectly) as they are tied to a much better money.
