I'm not so sure that the relative power of gods' Secrets is unimportant, though. A Secret represents the very best magic you can hand out - if your best magic is better than the other guy's best magic, I'd say that's a pretty clear differentiation.
But there are also differences in the feats available. Take Chalana Arroy vesus Ernalda the Healer, for example. The former can re-attach severed limbs, but the latter cannot.
