Have I missed something significant

If you are Silver or Gold in M&M miles do not expire. If you travel within Scandinavia and the Baltic region EB has low redemption levels (lower than FlySmart), but they do not have a permanent "last minute offer". M&M allows confirmed upgrades but they are extremely costly, EB does not, etc, etc...

If you want more help, I think you need to tell us a little more about what you want to get out of the programmes (status perks, cheap awards (from where to where), upgrades, partner awards, miles from credit cards...), there are many differences, and depending on what you are looking for they may or may not be major.
