I've been told that the Erie Canal tour is the better of the two.

My son and I did the Erie in 2008. We are going to do it again as the second half of our tour.
We are driving to Albany, taking a train to Montreal.
Ride to Toronto, then Buffalo via Niagra Falls ending by riding to Albany on the canal.
