The kits forum is for the discussion of model kits. Typically questions on availability or certain subjects and quality of existing kits are posted here. Short reviews are good here too.

Not exactly the case Old Chap. My Trumpeter kit has the hatches facing the right way.

Seeing as both kits have fictional turrets (there is no real evidence that the Maus turret was going to be fitted) then on balance I would say go with the Trumpeter kit. I have both, my Dragon kit has been converted to a StuG (New Connections) and the Trumpeter is yet to be started. However, with both kits the tracks are fairly horrible so in either case replacing them with the Atelier Infinite tracks would be sensible.

The Trumpeter kit is disappointing as it is somewhat simplified, but then look on that as an opportunity to take something well moulded and simple and turn it into an masterpiece using basic modelling skills.
