They seem to have some differences but dragon blooded vs Iruxi ancestry feats also look pretty similar too.
If you're only looking at the traits and dice
-The Claws from Draconic Aspect are only as good as your base claws. Iruxi armaments gives your claws an increased damage die size and Versatile P
-Draconic Aspect's Jaws are a lower die size but have the forceful trait. Iruxi armaments comes out ahead in my opinion.
-The tail attack from Draconic aspect has one extra trait (and a good one at that) compared to Iruxi Armaments.
However, Iruxi Armaments leads to 3 different feats that offer ways to use your new appendage, while Draconic Aspect has a follow up feat that gives your unarmed attack deadly d8. Lost Omens: Draconic Codex will add more Dragonblood feats when it comes out in early November, and its possible there might be more feats that follow up on Draconic Aspect.
One other thing to note is Draconic Aspect can only be taken at 1st level and can't be retrained, but Iruxi aspect allows you to take it at later levels, so you might be able to take both if you want, and a lenient GM might allow you to apply one of the iruxi feats that modify a natural attack to your Draconic Aspect if applicable (E.G. Take Draconic Aspect for a tail at level 1, use ancestral paragon to take Iruxi Aspect for claws at level 3, then take Shed Tail at level 5). But that's an edge case you should definitely ask your GM about. I don't consider it overpowered, but it is an exploit.

Thank you. I appreciate the explanation. I am GMing for my group and wanted to help my player.
