The biggest difference is the comfort and handling. It is more comfortable on a full day tour than my Surly LHT, but it handles more like a heavy duty mountain bike. After owning it for a year, I bought a Sam Hillborne because I wanted a lighter, faster version with the same geometry. I would pick the Hunq over the Sam because it is ultimately more versatile since it will accept tires up to 55mm and has a stronger tubeset.
