I have found that it is much easier to install to bare metal than to upgrade. When you upgrade, you have all the "this file is newer than that" one after another to deal with. A bare-metal install is a snap. You're right that it's apples and oranges. The only thing with a bare-metal install is that you have to input all the network stuff, if there is one, but a lot of upgrades wipe out the network stuff that was there, and you have to do it anyway.
Question: have you every installed Windows on bare metal? Installed, not upgraded. If you haven't, you are comparing apples and oranges.
