Stripping out any safety factors, and taking a fully loaded aircraft (both sets of values are from my own notes taken from official operators manuals)...
Super-cub TODR 153m
LDR 270m
Climb Rate 960 fpm
Glide: 12:1
Useful load - no idea, anybody ???
Easy-raider Jabiru TODR 255m
LDR 279m
Climb Rate 740 fpm
Glide 7.5:1
Useful load - about 225kg / 495 lb.
Which is pretty similar. But personally I found the Easy Raider easier to get in and out of a short strip - that's a personal impression only but the steeper power-off glide and slower flying speed are probably the reasons for those impressions.
And I'd certainly agree that both aeroplanes are very different beasts at MTOW compared to solo with half tanks. But both are pretty damned good aeroplanes in both cases !

N.B. If we are comparing serious STOL performance, I'd suggest that an aeroplane called the
Savannah , whilst a much less cute aeroplane than either - knocks both into a cocked hat.
