basically is exactely the same, but sometimes for some minor airport approaches are completely missing from database, a couple of time a star was also missing from Munich (definitely not a minor airport), in Moscow we were almost start crying as we couldn't find the approach while the day before was there... it turn out that we had to aska vector to final. The day before, same aircraft, same fms, no update in between the approach was there! if you are using jeppesen jet planner for flt log and you also get notams from them in some airport you would find a jeppesen notam on how the approach is coded in fms, but of course that's only valid for jeppesen database, creating confusion tot he crew.
In venice some stars are completely missing..

could go on for hours...

with jeppesen never had a single problem.

in my opinion, FMS, terminal chart and notam should all be from the same provider:
lufthansa+lido charts= maybe ok
jeppesen dbs+jeppesen charsts= for sure ok
