In general Macau is MUCH higher class experience. The ferries are excellent and clean. The food is world class. Hotels are 5 star+. The city is a tourist destination, is clean, orderly, and pleasure to walk through. You definitely feel higher class and are treated as such.
CP, as a city, is a quite depressing 3rd or 4th tier city. It is dirty, smoggy, lots of shady cab drivers, harder for non-chinese speaker, less safe feeling (though in actuality it is quite safe.). Generally speaking, I do not like to the town at all. Being there for WG's makes me feel more like a "degenerate." The place is alot more "wild-west" feeling.
Girls wise: CP the girls are 18-22. The girls in CP are more "country bumpkin" in terms of their dress, make-up, demeanor. Their skin is less smooth, nails are not as done up, etc.Their naivete is plus and minus. They are very "fresh" but lack skill. I would say the max I've had in CP is 8/10 looks wise. The model categories are mainly just tall, sometimes big and tall. That being said some of the spinners are so fresh their LS slit are literally less than inch.
I have not met any model types from Dongbei in CP (though I imagine there must be).
The girls in Macao are 22-26 and are alot more conscientious about their appearance and are overall better looking. There are quite alot of 9-9.5/10s and many of the "models" could actually be Models. The girls in general have more spark or "X-factor". Because they are slightly older they have better skill, but some are bit jaded. Many of them seem like they used to be the younger hot KTV girl, but now they need to make money faster while they still have their looks. Regardless the HOT ones are really HOT.
Obviously cost of non-FS things (hotel, food, ktv room, etc) are much cheaper in CP, but they are of significantly lower quality. It's nice in some ways, you can really be relaxed and do whatever. To each his own about this...
The cost of the FS is where it gets interesting. I'm mainly interested in model category so I will use them as a comparison:
CP - Priced in RMB
Saunas (Eurasia, Yihao, HuiHua (korean) etc) - 800 to 1000rmb (Room fees included, no public bath, sauna, lounge) - 2 pops
KTV - 1000/1500rmb (Yihao), 1500/2000rmb (Eurasia)
Macao - Priced in HKD (-20% for RMB)
Saunas (D1, 18, East, etc) - 1900 to 2300hkd (Includes lounge, food, bath, shows, etc) - 1 pop
KTV - 1500-1700 ST; 2000-2500LT
As you can see, prices for FS is Macao is not that much more expensive once you factor in the HKD > RMB exchange rates. For the extra, in Macao you can expect the girls to be 0.5-1.0 point higher in the 1-10 scale of looks, etc. I've walked out of quite a few saunas in CP when they didn't have any I liked. The number of doable girls in Macao is MUCH higher. Though CP has a higher number of girls in total (KTV flower street). KTV-wise, the room is much cheaper in CP, but if you split it among a couple of guys the price is manageable in Macau. Plus in macao you can opt for package deals.
On the cheap end though, CP is definitely cheaper. However, the thing I don't like about CP most is the rush. For example:
3:30 - 4pm is when the sauna line-ups are the best in CP. So you go in and find one, do a 2 hour session, and finish around 6pm. If you don't find one you won't have enough time to got another sauna before flower streets start at KTV. If you do find one, then you have to rush to get the KTV afterwards, (which by 6pm is getting late if you have to cross town, etc). If you dont pick immediately at the KTV or don't find one you like then you are kind of stuck. If you go back to the sauna, the good ones are picked and will not be free for 2 hours. If you aren't smart about your time and you're picky about the girl, you could be stuck with no action! I find that CP is somewhere where you really have to plan your time.
Overall, if budget allows, I would recommend Macao. Or better yet, if you have a few days in HK as your base, you can do both. I like to do afternoon/night trips to Macau if I'm busy in HK then take the train from HK > CP for a day or two when I'm not. Both are just 1 hour train/ferry rides.
