Arnold is better organized.
Olympia has a better selection of competitors.

The Olympia is more fixed.

The Olympia I'd imagine is more expensive for tickets. What was a front row seat for the Arnold costing this year?

I have not seen both but the general feeling I get from a lot of people is that the A Classic has a lot more prestige than the O.

I went to both back in 2002.  I thought the overall weekend was better at the Arnold.  But the actual contest on Saturday night was better at the Olympia because the caliber of the competitors and the importance of the title.  Watching Ronnie win the Olympia was better than watching anyone else win the Arnold.
