I am a member of both and just looking at what you can do with the points, its obvious the better value to play is with pokerstars. You can buy in directly to cash for real money with fpp in pokerstars. with full tilt, you can use their points to only buyin to Satellite tournaments where only the top 2 or 3 will win. Full tilt should seriously think about changing what you can do with the points and do what pokerstars is doing. I guarantee that will get more players on their site. I know they have all the top pros signed on, but wouldnt they want more business as well from the average player to increase their profits? Maybe thats why pokerstars always has more players playing on their site.
In my opinion if you want to play cash game you should play at Full Tilt and if you want to play mtt's you should play at Poker Stars.Stars has the best guaranteed tourneys.
I do play both and i find your suggestion excellent... so I'm thinking of going on that way. 😉

Incorrect. You can buy directly into (select) cash tournies at full tilt with just fulltilt points. Not all cash tournies but some.
Field sizes at PS tend to be rather large in MTT's. So they are much longer grinds but have higher payoffs. Advantage? Disadvantage? Depends on your preference I guess.
