Emne: Janus verses Gothic

I posted at the Gothic board as well. Could someone please tell me the major differences between Janus and Gothic? I know about the different pieces and castling rules, but what is the general consensus as to which is a more exciting game? I know that a lot of GMs play Janus-Peter Leko being a Janus 4 time world champion. Do any GMs play Gothic? My personal opinion is that Gothic offers more exciting play from having the chancellor. Any comments anybody?
