Default Discover vs. Range Rover cage match?

I'm shopping for a used Rover between 5-10 years. I'm a little confused about performance differences between Range Rover and Discovery. How do these two models compare in terms of handling, reliability, ease of maintenance.

* I've heard that Range Rovers handle better offroad because of a longer wheelbase and softer suspension
* I've heard that Discoveries are easier to work on. For instance, one must remove the plenum in order to replace spark plug wires on the Range Rover
* What else can be said about Discovery vs. Range Rover, particularly the mid-to-late 90s models?
