My wording was a bit ambiguous. You interpreted it to mean the decisions themselves are more interesting in Agricola. That is definitely true, but I also meant that there are more of them despite a much shorter play time and far fewer opportunities for them. One is a question of overall yield while the other is a question of efficiency; I believe Agricola wins on both counts.
You say despite, but I think that's half the reason why the decisions are more interesting.
