For me it's the other way around, Fire Emblem is too RPGish for my tastes. I'm a classic strategy man at heart so I like resource management, standard units, building units - that makes Advance Wars my pick.
Meanwhile the console version of FE is better than the bastardization that is Battalion Wars...
And I've never cared for the story in these games, normally skip it, always sigh when someone blabbers on.
