I can tell you from first hand experience that rolling your own Fedora 
CD with Kadischi
is tenfold easier than remastering Knoppix, especially from your 
description and logic.

I personally think it is a common misconception to try and compare any 
two Linux systems in such a
way as you describe, unless you are talking strictly about the Linux 
kernel. Noth are Linux systems.
Both operate in a read-only environment. With the recent addition of 
user bootsplash support
in Kadischi CVS, it is just the beginnings of what you will see 
associated and available with Kadischi.

These are my opinions however, and I am very interested in the Fedora 
Project and Fedora Core myself.
Knoppix is a good system also.  Knoppix is more of a fork, than a 
"Debian LiveCD".
There are differences and these need to be determined and can only be 
evaluated on a per-user basis.
What is or isn't with Kadischi is up to the mind of the reader and user.
