It is hard to compare the Antares and Spaceship 2.
Antares used an extremely proven engine but with a different design for the fuel and oxidizer systems. The engine is used in the Atlas V. It is also a fully automatic system. Sounding like it was a fuel or oxidizer leak.
Spaceship 2 is a brand new design. And it uses people at the controls. This one sounding like it was pilot error.
