This is one of the good common ground on those 2 but the difference is just heavy comparing it to Accelerator.
Touma doesn't see helping others as a duty or a fact or must be done and its entirely not because he dreamed of becoming a hero. He is also not weigh down by guilt of being save though he feel guilty for lying on Index but that's differnt matter. He doesn't idolize someone and try to become someone because to him. He is just doing what he wants and what he thinks is right.
No redemption
No guilt
And his distortion can't be even called a distortion but just being open to himself. His doing what he think is right and unlike other people which weight down by society's norm and other people's belief or concern or their opinion. Thus when he really indeed help someone he is just being himself and he is not trying to become something else.
If you compare Accelerator and Shirou then I can see more similarities though Accelerator is a genius while Shirou can be considered an idiot or talent-less but worked hard to become what he is.
