The Toyota is heavier than a Mugen for example, but not by as much as some people speculate.
As it has a larger restrictor it will rev higher, and possibly has a higher peak power figure. This can be seen in speed trap data showing these engines consistently quickest in a straight line suggesting power being superior.
I have access to data showing the rate of acceleration being pretty consistent as well (same track, same gearing), suggesting torque characteristics being closer than imagined as well.
Balance is going to be the main difference which comes down to setup.
