SWG is bug-ridden like crazy, but has massive patches on a weekly basis which eliminate many bugs and which add massive amounts of new content. They're slow to address individual concerns, but they do address individual concerns. The scope of the game is so large that it comes as no surprise that they didn't have the time to incorporate space travel and an expansion pack specifically for that actually makes logical sense.
PS has fewer bugs, and has occasional patches which normally increase the bug number and which seldom add any true content. They don't address individual concerns. The scope of the game is large for a FPS, but many of the complaints that people have had about the game and missing content don't seem to make sense as to why they were unable to add them to the existing game.
Oddly enough, I've let my SWG subscription lapse and am still playing PS. In the end I just really want the game to succeed, but have increasing doubts about that happening. Everybody talks about the expansion attracting new players. I have serious doubts about that as well, and am one of the apparently weird people who is considering cancelling because of this expansion. I don't believe the game is actually worth the monthly fee that I continue to pay as it stands, and I have a hard time swallowing whatever amount they'll charge for the expansion. We'll see how they incorporate it and whether or not people without the expansion will truly be able to use the additional weapons and vehicles. If they aren't, I'm out without thinking twice. If they are, and the devs are telling the truth on that one, I'll most likely at least stick around to see how it works.
