I tried to find a clear comparaison between the two in topics and didn't find much... Seems that the principal thing is MLL vs Priority pass? Marco Polo Gold not available anymore... Hotel benefits... And a 10k more points that I can transfer to AP...
Thanks,

Amex plat much better than Aeroplat.
60k signup for plat vs 51k signup for aeroplat.
60k is Membership rewards which is much more flexible.
Plat has 2 x $200 travel credits, aeroplat has none
Plat has hotel elite status benefits, aeroplat has none.
Only benefit aeroplat has is the 2 for 1 short haul partner ticket, ac lounge benefit, and priority check in.
The only reason why you'd apply for aeroplat is if you fly ac a lot. otherwise the aeroplan gold with 30k bonus and waived annual fee is a much better choice, and platinum for singup bonus and benefits.
