Not really Matt - the issues discussed do after all relate to both magazines to some extent, and certainly you are both competing for the same target market.

As for content etc - I've done for work for MTB mags before and know a few (now mostly ex) editors of said publications and can safely say that what goes is is driven by the market.
The internet has somewhat damaged the middle market (I'll call this the hobbyist) because it allows instant access to info, a community of like minded souls and its free!
That leaves the newbies and the pro's. The 'pros' write articles, feature in race reports etc, so for them the publication is almost 'my name in lights'. And the Newbie wants simple, basic info.
TT01's get reviewed every issue but that is because the sort of person that buys a TT01 (and the mag its reviewed in) doesn't even know its been done before in a dozen back issues. And that mag sells.

The fact is I like Ooples reviews myself, mostly as they are pretty much 'where I'm at' in the RC world, but I'm also sure that a month 'Oople mag' of race reports and race car reviews would not sell well enough to cover costs. So I accept that the current magazines aren't aimed at me right now and leave it at that.
