You can only get the Balance Board bundled with Wii Fit (or possibly used by itself). EA Sports Active only uses the balance board for enhancing some exercises. So for the volleyball exercise you have to lunch and then hit the ball compared to just standing still. Or for the inline skating, you have to stand on 1 foot to miss bales of hay rather than jumping off of ramps. I like having the balance board due to it adding side lunges to your exercises, but you won't be missing a lot.
If you are looking for more Yoga/Balance exercises get Wii Fit. If you are looking for more Areobic exercises go with Sports Active. In terms of strength training, both are faily equal, but EA Sports Active has no push-ups or real crunches, but does provide resistance band exercises (which I would suggest you replace with a tougher one). Either way I'd add some extra upper body strength exercises to your workout. If you are looking to lose weight, I'd suggest EA Sports Active as it makes working out easier and has more cardio. If you just want to maintain weight, then Wii Fit does come with the balance board and is capable of tracking your weight.
