Steady on there, mate.
It's not a case of better or worse. Some military qualifications aren't recognised by CASA either, like instructor and instrument ratings, and it's the luck of the draw if you take your military log book into the CASA office and see what they'll give you credit for - they wouldn't give me formation, aerobatics or low flying and I'd only been doing it for 20 years, said I had to go and get a civil instructor to check me out and write me up for them. Not exactly frickin' user friendly in the other direction, is it?
