There were very significant differences in their vulnerability. Tiger had thick armour all round. Panther's was better sloped, but thin enough on the sides and rear to be seriously vulnerable in a melee, which is why it was best employed in prepared defensive roles.
They had similar engines and optics. Panther's HV 75mm exceeded Tiger's older 88 in armour penetration. There was nearly 20 tons weight difference. Like von Poop says, there's not a whole lot in common.
