I really do not have a lot of experience with different eBikes other than the Yamaha CrossCore RC and a Pedego Tandem that we own.
Leaving the tandem aside I love both bikes. The N+ is obviously more sophisticated and since I bought the Yamaha before they decided to drop out of US market the price difference is marginal.
N+ is clearly more powerful, and I suspect the brakes would be as good if not better than the Yamaha's. The N+ is new and the brakes have not bedded in.
The six million dollar question is if I was buying and the choice was either the Yamaha RC or the N+ City Edition, I would most probably have opted for the N+.
