I prefer Scottsdale's vibe and warmer winter's and less humidity. Plano probably offers a better job market though and possibly better public schools.

Scottsdale Unified School District and Paradise Valley Unified School District (the two main school districts that cover Scottsdale) are in the top 5 of not the top 3 in the whole state of Arizona

Yeah but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are better than Plano schoold and I think they most likely aren't.

Both places actually have quite a bit in common. Both make you want to leave as quickly as you can, for largely the same reasons.

Not really. Cities from 2 different parts of the country. Scottsdale is culturally way more like California than Texas
