The difference between the Prestige and the Illusionist is that that Prestige doesn't have the qualms to present you with the classic Sherlock Holmes maxim of "when all options exhausted, whatever remains, however impossible, remains the truth" and so it presents you with with an out-of-this world, yet logical solution.
The Illusionist on the other hand, has too much utterly impossible and unexplained supernaturalism throughout to satisfy any discerning audience...which is then shafted by just another run of the mill down-to-earth twist and turn CSI type solution.
