SMP 1120 mov vs 3135 by "R"?

Would it not be "fair" to say (all else being equal) that the 3135, with its Breguet hairspring and balance bridge,is technically a better movement? Im not interested in which watch is superior, rather which movement would be concidered the more superior. Merely a question?
I mean its also "in house", ok thats no guarantee but somehow it seems it has the right ingredients to me? Any comments would be much appreciated....
Again Im only interested in the mechanics of the movements in question, certainly the 3000 series would(from what Ive read on the net) be a no brainer. Ooh and I only own Omegas(3), so Im not being facetious here just curious?
