I think its difficult to compare the two shows in general. Initially, Abhi was def a lot better than Dev, and Ak was always worse than Sona, but all of their circumstances were also different, so again, it's difficult to compare but I am going to try anyway.
Abhi was always better than Dev. Especially in this track when Ak is married to another man. Abhi hasn't once shown jealousy or hatred towards Abhinav and, in fact, tries to be friendly. I know there was a weak moment during the proposal track, but even then, it's not like he was being malicious. Dev's jealousy was insane during the first engagement track and then post-leap, especially when he did nothing to make his relationship work.
Ak, on the other hand, was always weaker than Sona. It's just a fact, and we know its cause of how she was raised. Sona was raised with really good values that she adhered to the whole time. In fact, Sona's weak point was always Dev, and she only ever bent her values for him. Ak is the opposite, where her values only ever come out with Abhi, and he is usually the one to bear the brunt of them. She isn't even honest about her feelings for him in most cases, while Sona was always unerringly honest about everything.
In a lot of ways, the roles were reversed here, where Abhi was the honest, straightforward one while Ak was the one who kept trying to balance relationships and failed while doing so. But it's much worse, too, cause Abhi and Ak both have way more issues with their families than Sona and Dev did. Dev's relationship with his mother was way more intense than Abhi's with Manjari, and Manjari has actually always wanted Abhi to have a life partner and a full life.
Finally, the principal question of post-leap is, why did Ak marry? Sona needed to prove that she was financially as capable as Dev since money was an issue between them and their families. There is no such issue between the Birlas and Goenkas, so Ak doesn't really need to prove anything. On the other hand, Ak was blamed by everyone, including her own family. What she needed more than anything was emotional support from someone who would respect her and not judge her recklessly. She was supposed to have that with Abhi but never did. She did find it with Abhinav, so her marrying him makes sense in that regard. Ofc the actual reason is cause of Abhir, which makes this way more complicated.
In short, the issue between Devakshi was Money, so Sona needed to be an independent businesswoman. The issue between Abhira was family, so Akshu needed to go make her own family without being dependent on the toxicity of Gorillas.
