I do have both and still prefer the rice cooker for rice cooking. The lighter weight helps me move it around the kitchen as needed. I also like that it is easier to put in the dishwasher and that I never have to futz with the rubber seal or the hard to clean yet easy to lose pin and other small parts in the instant pot. It is always a chore for me to clean. The steps needed remind me of (not unhappy) times in the army having to assemble and disassemble an assault rifle.
