This question is kind of absurd, since you can't really know the answer unless you own both.
I was extremely fortunate to get a PS5...through my wife...who knew a coworker...who had a cousin...who was a scalper...who couldn't get enough for the console, so we ended up paying around 550 for the 500 model. It's seriously insane how hard it it to get one of these things, and it's harming the game sales and goodwill of the customers. The only reason this is even remotely tolerable is because of what crypto-mining has done to PC graphics cards, but it's still ridiculous.
Anyways, I can't imagine being more impressed with the hardware. It's so fast and easy to jump into games, it changes your behavior. It's easier to balance a load of games when you don;t have to wait 3 minutes just to get to the title screen, and if the games use Cards, you can jump directly to a specific level in around 3 seconds. It's crazy how much this improves the experience all around. The controller is by far the best I've ever used. If a game actually uses the unique features, it adds a wonderful and tactile new layer to games. Being able to feel each individual rumble of each little thing, and feel them in actual relation of where I am, and use that to dodge an attack or find a new enemy adds some interesting new layers to gameplay. The 3D audio is also a great experience, and soon will even work with basic TV speakers. It's the kind of thing I hope everyone can experience at some point, just for the fun of it.
I think the PS5 is probably the best PS yet, in terms of tech progression and features, or at least a close second the original PS1. And we have only seen the very 1st iterations of PS5 games, and they are absurdly promising.
