Refseq annos tend to be more conservative -- I'm not sure how many of them
are computationally predicted vs. ensembl, for instance.

If I gave you a number, would you believe me? :-)

This is something you can hash out yourself if you get a bit familiar with
IRanges and GenomicRanges functionality -- then whip up a GenomicFeatures
TranscriptDb for your two organisms and have a crack at it.

After you do that, report back here with your best guess and the code you
used to get it ... I'll offer up mine then, too ;-)
