Years ago--25+ or so, when both machines were available in stores, I did do a little recording/playback test in the store.  Beta seemed a little sharper and less smeary as I recall.  But it was analog NTSC after all.  And tube TVs, not broadcast monitors.  I bought a VHS recorder mainly for the long play times.  And it was cheaper.  The quality was good enough for my needs even on extended play.  After all, it was only TV. ;-)
