Kind of like Hongqiao versus Pudong (setting aside that Hongqiao is much closer to center Shanghai than HND is to Tokyo)?
Basically, yes. But there's been some decent INTL expansion at HND from JL and NH.

There are more connection opportunities via NRT, especially on Oneworld.

HND, however (IMO) is a much nicer airport and experience in getting to the city.
