Which was more difficult (in general), Chinese or Japanese?

I don't have a great ear for tones, so Chinese was harder for me to get right, but I didn't really find either more difficult than the other. It's hard to compare. I found the grammar in Chinese easier than that of Japanese, but Japanese was easier to pronounce, so it kind of evens out.
