Yes thank you for suggesting both are equal in case the opponent has no counter.
But wait.
How about, the more likely scenario where you and your opponent have a counter and there is a resolved EC in play?

RH is also better in rare, rare cases where you must win with Emrakul and you have not access to Trickbind.

There are scenarios, mentioned before (e.g. Thalia), where RH is less good.
