It's not exactly comparing like for like, though, is it? Howies also do a 100% merino much more fitted cut, much lighter weight, much stretchier short sleeved baselayer. You might also find the difference between that and the one you've got "night and day".
Personally I prefer the simple raglan sleeve of the rapha over the more panelled shoulder effort of the howies (it means there are no seams in the armpit which is quite clever) but I do appreciate the colours available in howies. I know rapha now do some rather tasty colours, it's just been a while since I bought any.
