Can someone help explain the difference in Tiller games?

I have to agree about the 3D mode in SB. I never use it for the same reasons mentioned above so that would not be a factor for me as well. I play both series and both are different games. I prefer SB because I like small arms action compared to the scale of CS. SB also plays quicker and the AI can be challenging in certain scenarios, although I prefer PBEM.
