Thai vs Habs

Assuming both with same Scoville, how would you describe the difference in flavor and how heat hits and lingers?
 
Different thais have different flavor. I have thai dragons. They go good with most oriental dishes with soy or sesame, ginger etc. Not as good with tomato based or fruity flavors. Habs kinda complete opposite. That's my 2 cents
 
Thai hits you up front with the heat and the hab builds and gets hotter. I like the taste of a thai better than a hab eating them raw, but I like the habs much better in a sauce. Also the habs are at-least 2-3 times hotter on the scoville. Thats my 2 cents :)
 
I prefer the Thai for flavor,the yellow always brings the heat that is solid and not over powering
I dont have much use for habs with all the other strains available today,better heat and flavor
For lack of a better term habs are just boring :)
