Can't you enjoy different series for different reasons? The aim of Saki is obviously not to provide an elementary education in mahjong, the mahjong is merely a premise for character interaction (much like Shion no Ou).
Akagi may be better in its focus on mahjong, but that doesn't make it qualitatively better.
I'm liking Saki's characters so far, even though if you look back a couple of pages I was talking about how cookie-cutter some of them seem to me.
