Is the 2200 on a triple?
If both are triples and the Sora seems worse, the Sora is likely badly adjusted (
or you are doing something that you shouldn't be). The problem is likely the adjustment (or what you are doing).
Fix that.

Technically, it should be
less than one pedal rotation. (Of course, since the front gears are bigger than the rear, it takes longer to shift the front than it does the rear.)
Note that part of his problem might be cross chaining. Triples (especially) can be balky with cross chaining. Cross chaing is something you don't want to do and it is something that is often unnecessary.
We'd also need to know what the chainrings on both bikes are (bigger differerences cause balkier shifts).
The Sequoia is a decent bike and Sora is decent stuff.
