I don't know about you, but I consider the meat part of the burger to be more defining than how much bread they stuff into the wrapper.

Put it side by side with a whopper sometime and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I've had both. I eat out daily for lunch. It's the same burger. Well, except that the Whopper has a significant upcharge for cheese. Which is pretty retarded.
Just going to add something shocking. I totally disagree with you. To me, it's the "bread and other stuff" that makes a burger worth paying for. Not the meat. Especially not the meat at a fast food restaurant, and triply not so when we're talking about the difference between how McD's "cooks" their meat versus how BK does it.
I'll take a smaller patty on a burger that's got more veggies, lettuce, onions, and condiments any day over one with a larger patty but with practically nothing else. There's a reason the "restaurant style burgers" are such a big deal right now. People would rather spend a bit more for something that tastes good.
Sorry. I expect a burger to have more then just meat and bun. And the cheese thing is irrelevant. When I buy a whopper, I don't get cheese on it because it doesn't *need* cheese to make it taste good. It already does. Take the cheese off a QP and you've got something even worst tasting then that burger already is. Maybe you're ok with just eating "something", but for me, even if I'm looking at fast food, I'll buy something that tastes good and maybe at least appears to be a bit less horrible for my body, and McD's is pretty much at the bottom of the list (not that BK is high up there either, but it's miles above McD's).
I don't feel like arguing prices either. I could go drive through the two places and tell you what the prices are here (I *know* that a QP is more expensive then a whopper, but that doesn't help you much where you live), but it's just not worth my time. I do know that when I was eating fast food regularly, I would occasionally be forced to grab food at McD's (cause they tend to stay open later and there are more of them). I would try to order what appeared to be the same amount of food as my standard order when I'd go to BK, and it always ended up being less food, less tasty food, and about $1.50 more expensive.
