They were both excellent machines given the cost, dates of availability, and the purposes for which they were generally purchased.

I always preferred the PDP/11 even over the later VAX 11/780, in that that Vax's VMS was quite bloated relative to RSTS/E and certainly RT11. For that time, an 11/74 running RT11 was extremely fast.

Resource limitations were just something of that era. The PDP 11/34 I worked on mostly had a total of 1.4MB*3 disk storage, but I had it to myself and seemed just fine. We ran good sized businesses on the 11/70 including Bills of Materials which can be demanding.

I was a great fan of RSTS/E which I always thought was a great operating system of the time.
