Because this question would require an exhaustive response, this is something that you really should do your own homework on using the comparison charts on each program's product page. You can then work out which features are important or unimportant for you. And in the end, only you can decided if there is a need to have both programs based on your consideration of both NLE's features, advantages and disadvantages.

Movie Edit Pro 21's comparison chart is:

Vegas Pro 18's comparison chart is:

If you take out the VP18 features marked as New, you'll fairly much have VP17.

Vegas Pro doesn't possess "Video editing with real-time preview" : Mouse-over the timeline and set edits directly in the real-time preview ;

"Automatic shot match" : Easily transfer the visual characteristics of your best videos to others in your project ;

"1,500 effects, titles and transitions" ;

"Travel Maps" ;

"INFUSION Engine 2" : ultra-smooth project previews in realtime while editing ;

"Multi Timeline" : Open unlimited timeline in one UI ;

"improved keyframe graph" : Vegas Pro's manual keyframe curve has big bug

Movie Edit Pro is Magix's consumer level editor comparable with Vegas Movie Studio.

Vegas Pro should be compared with Magix Video Pro X which is Magix's pro editor.

John-Brown made some useful comparison comments in this thread https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/video-pro-x-and-vegas-pro--124884/#ca777124
