One limitation with OpsWorks is that as far as I know, there's no option to use spot instances whereas it's not a problem with EC2 launch configurations for AutoScaling Groups. Also, ASGs and OpsWorks both have options for time and load-based scaling with different interfaces.
It's easy enough to understand how this happened as OpsWorks came about via an acquisition, but consistency would certainly be nice.
Presenting overlapping yet incompatible features under the blanket of AWS is confusing and potentially pretty frustrating.
