Cultural differences between Vandas and Ascocentrums

[Tindomul]

Hi all,
I would like to gauge your opinion, knowledge, advice, expertise, on the difference in growung Vandas as opposed to growing Ascocentrums. My initial thoughts from looking these up on the net is that they are a bit different with Ascos being a bit more forgiving requireing less light, and heat. What do you guys think? Is it actually easier to grow one as opposed to the other, for someone like me languishing in the North East, USA .
