It's apples and oranges. In Mach3, you'd probably do the ATC programming in a mix of VB macros and C code on the KFlop. In KMotionCNC, you'd do the whole thing in C code on the KFlop.
Mach3 has more bells and whistles, but KMotionCNC is, arguably, more stable and reliable. Mach3 is rather notorious for introducing new bugs with each new release, many of which never get fixed. Either will get the job done.
