I fly one of each regularly. [Rans S499 kg and S4 single seat microlight 250 kg AUW.]

Landing the microlight actually is IMHO more difficult to learn as they suffer from drag without much inertia.
They require more precise control input - using power judiciously through the final stages to avoid falling out of the sky before you are ready !
