Cavalier vs Beastmaster dedication

[Siri Silk]

I've seen a lot of love for the Beastmaster dedication and less so for Cavalier dedication.
Compairing the two I don't see why.

List of feats by level, har to do but hopefully readable:

Feat lvl Beastmaster: Feat lvl Cavalier:
2 Beastmaster Dedication 2 Cavalier Dedication
4 Additional Companion 4 Cavalier's Banner
4 Heal Animal 4 Cavalier's Charge
4 Magic Hide* 4 Impressive Mount
4 Mature Beastmaster Companion
4 Wild Empathy* 4 Quick Mount
6 Beastmaster's Trance 6 Defend Mount
6 Companion's Cry* 6 Mounted Shield
8 Incredible Beastmaster Comppanion 8 Incredible Mount
10 Beastmaster Bond 10 Stalwart Standard
10 Enlarge Companion* 10 Trampling Charge
10 Unseat

12 Beastmaster's Call
14- Side by Side (Druid)*
14 Specialized Beastmaster Companion 14 Specialized Mount

16 Lead the Pack 16 Wave the Flag

Improving the Companion is done at the same level for both dedications 4,8,14 respectivly
Good defensive feats for both dedications with a pro for Defend Mount (Cavalier), imho
The main diffrence what i can see otherwise is that the Beastmaster can have diffrent companions to call upon when needed. And finally have 2 acive at the same time.

I am ofcourse planing to one of the dedications for my character but am woundering what I have missed, any advice, please

I think you answered your question in your post. Other than mature/incredible/specialized feat levels, they have completely different feats. For rangers and druids, Beastmaster seems a better choice for its nature connection and focus spells. For characters looking just for a mount companion and/or focus more on the society skill, Cavalier is a better choice.

Yes. Do the same comparison for Champions Steed Ally. Then take Cavalier.
