Yup, totally agree. I just bought a Suburban after looking at the Expedition. No contest. Not even close. The suburban drives great, doesn't feel top heavy, has tons of room in the cargo area and the leather interior is very plush with large seats and nice extras. The Ford didn't even come close and actually, the Ford Expedition was more expensive.
If you're going to compare a Yukon or Suburban to a Ford, it should be the Navigator. The Navigator is far superior to all of them imo.
