Tim, I, for one, believe your charts have improved significantly by switching the provider. The option of loading more detailed elevation data is also welcome when flying in the Alps. Roads appear to be depected better, too. All in all, a good step forward.
That said, there will always be inconsistencies between countries how they report different features. Clearly it is an ongoing process to smooth out rough edges and work toward more consistency in the map's underlying database. This will take some time, I understand.
Regarding having more or less details: SD is geared toward VFR flying. As such, its maps are used to navigate and relate observed features to specific map points. You are a pilot yourself, and I assume you have a good feeling for what is useful for navigational purposes and what isn't. And treating their individual visibilities based on the current zoom level helps to reduce clutter and focus on the important parts.
Greetings, -- Chris.
