Pedersoli Sharps vs Rolling Block?

Any advantages of one action over the other, given the same barrel length and sights?
I started with a Navy Arms (Pedersoli) RB with a brass trigger assembly and super heavy 26" barrel.  I didn't shoot it much before selling and getting my Ped. Sharps from Cabelas.  I really liked the simplicity of the RB. 
Just wanting to hear some opinions.

Thanks,
Andy

I go shooting most summer sundays with a friend, he has a pedersoli roller and I have a shiloh sharps.  He outshoots my more then I care to think, and his gun is much simpler and more reliable.

I also have a roller, but like shooting the sharps but its a labour of love to maintain.  Finger lever spring has broken once so far, and most guys keep a spare one and perhaps a firing pin.  As far as accuracy, reliability, handling and cost all taken into account, the rollers a better gun.  Also much easier to shoot prone is thats your game.
